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.

Thankfully everything went smoothly with trip and didn't need to use the insurance, and I thank God daily for my good health and safety and I didn't need to use the insurance for any medical conditions. Was good to have the peace of mind of knowing it was there if needed. I felt price was reasonable.

I didnt need to "use" the insurance (which is good news). But in the past, I've had to file a claim and was quite impressed with the entire process.
