Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
I am a travel agent and I purchased your insurance for my clients, I know that you don't pay commission however I think its important for my clients to be protected. I am happy that they use my services to book their vacations will me and for that I feel I am compensated with my agent commission. The isn't the first time I have used your company. I hope this review will help.

I'm basing my rating on the helpfulness of the agent. She answered all of my questions and was very friendly. I never had to file a claim.

Great value for a great plan! Easy process to compare and purchase a plan. We were pleased that we did not have to make a claim. The best reviews of these plans is listening to people who actually had to make a claim.

Easy to purchase and understand and quite affordable for such a big trip that gave me peace of mind. I had to alter my dates after purchasing and they fixed it to my new dates at no additional cost.

I look for a high medical evacuation coverage at the lowest rate and this plan had $250,000 for about $45.

Did not have to use it, so I really don't know how good it was; however, from the comments, it seems good. In addition, in comparing some of the other policies, they all seem essentially the same. I'm satisfied that I did not have to use it, but it was there if I needed it.

Did not use, so can't review some items....I was satisfied with the cost of the plan I bought, but unknown if the coverage would have been good or not as not used.
