Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
While we didn't use the insurance, I was glad to know we had it if we needed it -- especially because we had some sizeable non-refundable deposits. The price was reasonable and it covered everything we needed. And several times, I thought we might have to use it because it seemed like everything that could go wrong before a vacation did. Less than a week before we left, we had a death in the family that put our travel plans in question. We got that resolved, only to break my toe the night before we left for our trip (which included some extensive hiking). Again, we decided to go through with the trip. And while we didn't need to use the insurance this time around ... I was reminded how quickly life can change your plans.

I booked a trip to Germany through a tour company. I unknowingly paid for their trip insurance as part of the tour price. When I investigated their insurance company, I discovered that the coverage benefited the company more than it benefited me. So, I decided to do what I always do when I take a big trip: Go to insuremytrip.com and get me some travel insurance that benefits me. As usual I was satisfied with my purchase. Fortunately I didn't have to use it but I was happy knowing that I was covered just in case.
