Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
It was a relief to know that I had the coverage I might have needed -- and a bigger relief not to need it! Peace of mind at a reasonable price.

We ALWAYS buy our insurance for the trips we plan through insuremytrip.com because we have lots of choices in all price ranges and we save a good deal of money versus insuring our trip through the ship/rental agency etcetc. It has saved us a lot of money through the years. And at our age (71&66) we must have trip insurance and saving money is all about smart living and planning our next adventure. Highly recommend the site.
We have not ever had to file a claim so can't comment on that but that's the purpose of insurance - in the event you have a crisis and need help!
Mildred H. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

We've purchased insurance from Nationwide in the past. They seem to offer the most for the money. Never had to file a claim, but will continue to purchase insurance for peace of mind.

Thank goodness we did not have to use it. I guess I could tell you better if I put a claim in, if it was a great plan! Hopefully I will never have to do that ----- then it is money well spent!

Wish I didn't feel the need to "waste" my money when I have never needed to use the insurance but I do feel it is a necessarily. Your plan is reasonably priced.

We were happy to have comprehensive trip coverage at such a reasonable price, and even happier to not have to use it.
