Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
While I did not make any claim (thank goodness) on my insurance during the trip, the coverage definitely provided peace of mind. Of all the carriers offered, I think Nationwide was the most cost effective for the same features/coverage I was looking for my trip to Italy.

Did not have any claim so I do not know what service I would receive. Don't understand need for bothersome survey.

Glad I bought this travel insurance for my cruise, and most importantly that I or my boyfriend did NOT have to use it.

A small expense for peace of mind that you'll be reimbursed if your health or travel plans change - which they can for any number of reasons. Fortunately have never had to file a claim, but am grateful for the recommendation and encouragement from a travel blogger to "insure my trip".
