As always I feel safer when I have insurance and you provide insurance coverage at a reasonable cost.
I had no claims but the trip I had a claim you were fast and fair.

When I travel I often say, "Oh, I can leave and go abroad without travel insurance." But, once I start shopping to price the cost of travel insurance, I'm reminded of all the things that could happen or go wrong.

When I purchased my Nationwide travel policy, I felt that if anything does happen, I have exactly the coverage I need. There were no gaps in the policy I secured for my trip to Thailand that I could see. Thank you for the comprehensive affordable travel policy!

I am thankful that I did not have to file a claim. I chose nationwide because of the amount of coverage and the price. I would use InsureMyTrip for every time I go on vacation .

We traveled from BWI to Jamaica 3/7 - 3/13 and did arrive home to a predicted snow/ice storm, which thankfully, didn't affect our travel. It was good to know that I had this travel insurance just in case!

Peace of mind, but worth it. At my age health can cause trouble and makes this worth the cost.

I'm sorry that I didn't respond earlier (found this in old email). I did experience the theft of my purse at the Nice Airport and Nationwide "had my back". While, of course, there were financial limitations which meant that my losses exceeded the reimbursement, I was pleased with how I was treated by phone and was surprised by the quick response to my claim. You are my "go to" now! Thanks so much for making an upsetting incident much less.

I didn't wind up using the plan but at the last minute my husbands back went out and I came very close to staying home. There was a lot of comfort in the knowledge if I had to cancel my trip I would not have lost all the money I paid for it! Well worth the cost of insurance.
