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.

I guess it is great when you didn't need the insurance, but difficult to rate if it is good a not. I didn't have any issues, so a happy camper!

We didn't get sick or have a family member in the hospital, so we did not need to use the insurance; but I'm glad we had it just in case.

Very glad we did not need or use it but so comforting to know it was available if necessary. Will always buy it for high dollar trips.

Bought the plan to cover a cruise. We never used the plan so I cannot comment on how responsive the company would be if a claim was filed!
