I didn't need to use the insurance so really don't know how good it really was. Glad I didn't need it!

Due to a predicted major snow storm along the east coast, our airline cancelled our flight the day before we were set to fly home from our vacation. We had to reschedule our flight to return home the day after our originally planned return date, and we incurred the extra expense of paying for another night at our hotel. Once we completed a claims form and submitted all of our documentation of the extra expense to Nationwide Mutual Insurance, we received a check in the mail very promptly from Nationwide Mutual, and the check was paid in the amount expected according to our plan. I would definitely recommend Nationwide Mutual to my friends, and we would definitely use InsureMyrip.com again for future trips.

If we had traveled 2 days before, we would have had to cancel.. so we are glad our risk management was good and the weather cooperated.

Was interested in trip cancellation/interruption coverage due to elderly relative. Everything else was not as important.

We purchased this insurance "just in case." Happily, we did not need it.

Never needed to use so just rated 3 of 5 on coverage. Price was competitive. NOTE: Be sure you look at the trip coverage provided by your credit card company just by charging expenses! I found out after purchasing this policy that I had about the same amount of coverage FREE from my credit card company just for using my card!
