Our travel often involves using credit card miles program reward travel for airfare, car rental, etc. This insurance does not cover losses of those expenses. These trip insurance companies need to figure out a way to do so, as this is no doubt a common scenario and an untapped business opportunity.

Best response after a trip: Once again, I didn't need to use it. Once again, I was glad to know I had it. Hate paying for it as an ancillary cost of being an older traveler, but I do it every time now.

Didn't have a claim to file so not sure what their customer service is like.

It was very easy to secure travel insurance via the internet. A site compiles trip insurance from many trip insurance companies so one can easily compare prices and coverage. I was impressed with the coverage of Nationwide and their pricing.
I would never buy trip coverage through a travel agency or travel company.

This is the second time I have purchased this plan for a trip. Thankfully, we did not need to file a claim, however I do feel that the coverage we selected was adequate had we needed it.

We were one of the many people who had a flight cancelled due to the recent shooting in Fort Lauderdale. As a result we had to fly into Orlando and take a rental car to Fort Lauderdale. When we arrived home from our cruise I filed a claim with Nationwide for the rental car cost and gasoline. It was approved within a couple of days and we received full reimbursement a week later. We like Nationwide because of the higher medical coverage and equal or shorter delay waiting periods. Most of all we will always use Insure My Trip to secure our trip insurance.

We filed a claim for medical reasons and received a full refund within a timely manner. Customer service at Nationwide was patient, friendly and helpful both when selecting a plan and when needing to file a claim. I recommend Nationwide as it truly is "on your side!"

Fortunately, we did not have to use this insurance. However, we had many things that came up (illness, weather, delayed flights) that were not as stressful knowing we had coverage if we needed it. I would buy this insurance again.
