We didn't have a claim but for the cost, the peace of mind was worth it.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Since i was going on the trip for a wedding i wanted coverage for several reasons. I was disappointed that the plan did not cover some important things for me - like if i had to cancel due to my daughter going into labor. It's pretty typical with trip insurance not covering things like that. The agent i talked to was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the plan. It was my choice to go ahead and buy the plan even though it did cover all my needs

It took a very long time to receive feedback on the claim, and there was very little communication during the process.

First time purchasing trip insurance. Did not end up needing it but think this was a fair price for the coverage in case we did. For simple trips, would recommend buying trip insurance separate from the travel company as I was able to save a few bucks. Sign up process was really simple and Nationwide provided all the information needed via email. Would definitely go with a "name brand" company like Nationwide.

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.
