We believe this plan was appropriate for the price. We were fortunate enough not to have a need to use the coverage but it matched many of the other plans we looked at. This is a great basic plan if you are looking for minimum coverage at an affordable price.

    Thank you very much for your review on pricing. All comprehensive plans including the Nationwide Essential calculate their premiums based on the age of the traveler, trip cost and length of trip. We understand that travel insurance always appears to be a waste of money unless you have a loss when its value becomes apparent. Nevertheless you did select one of our most competitively priced plans when choosing the Nationwide Essential plan.

    Please remember that we always appreciate your comments. If you should need our assistance in the future, you may call Customer Care at (800) 487-4722 Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to midnight ET and weekends 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
I have been buying travel insurance here for years, although it is my first time using it for claim due the luggage lost/damage caused by the airline company. After talking to the claim center, I received the email with detailed instructions regarding the necessary documents. After getting all these documents emailed, I received an auto reply saying that the processing time would be about 15 business days. However, on the 8th business day after I sent all claim documents, I just received the check in the mail. Super efficiency that I am so impressed! I knew that I purchased travel insurances from other companies here mostly based on the price, some terms sometimes say processing would take up to 25 days. I must say Nationalwide is doing a fantastic job! I will purposely look for Nationawide for insuring my next trip for sure!

Your website has been updated and its easier than ever to compare plans. Nationwide offered the best priced broadest coverage for our trip to Aruba plus they have a great reputation. Even though we didn't need to use it, it was perfect for us.

Peace of mind knowing that we were covered while on vacation. We did not have to use our plan, but it was nice knowing that if we had to it would be there.
