Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
We had a flight cancelled and a resultant overnight stay on the way back from our vacation. We called the Insuremytrip service number. the rep transferred us to a Nationwide service rep for some of our questions. Both people answered promptly, were able to bring up our information, and provided knowledgeable answers on what we would need to file a claim. However, the airline paid for our room and meals so we did not need to file. So, although we cannot rate claims payment, we were impressed by both the Insuremytrip and Nationwide service people.

Luckily we didn't have to use this insurance but it provided the peace of mind we wanted for the trip. Easy to buy and the price seemed reasonable.

Having the insurance gave me peace of mind should anything unforseen occur. The online process was easy and certain coverages where included that I hadn't considered.

I selected Nationwide because of the higher medical coverage than other companies. You need the medical and evacuation coverage in case you need it. Remember that Medicare only covers you in the United States and its territories. Most Medicare supplemental policies offer $50,000 lifetime of foreign travel medical coverage. Also be aware of what you employers health care covers out of the country. Someone was airlifted from our cruise in Labadee. We have personally talked to people who thought they were covered only to end up paying tens of thousands of dollars for health care out of the country.

I have used Nationwide plans for cruises and vacations out of the US and have coverage for another upcoming trip. I will not travel without Nationwide coverage in the future.
