This plan provided exactly the basic coverage I needed for the best price. Got it last year for the same type of trip, got it again this year, and will look for it again the next time I take this type of trip.

I am completely satisfied with my purchase of travel insurance through Insure My Trip. I have purchased travel insurance with Insure my Trip on several occasions and have not had to file a claim in the past. During my most recent trip I had an accident and had to visit the ER. My travel insurance provided reimbursement not covered by my primary health insurance. I will continue to purchase travel insurance for future trips through Insure My Trip.

It was a good plan and the cost was very reasonable. Fortunately we did not need to use it.

It was reassuring to know that I had this coverage even if I did not have to use it. Better to have and not need than to need and not have this insurance for my trip.

My wife and I have traveled with another couple for the last 15 -20 years. We get along great and in my wife's case know each other since childhood. Anyway, not to prolong the story, we had planned our vacation this year for Hawaii - several days on Honolulu and then a cruise around the other islands. A week or so before the trip the spouse of our travel companions had some bad results to medical tests she took and as it turns out needed open heart surgery. As a result of this we certainly did not want to travel while she was undergoing this procedure. After submitting all of our documentation to Nationwide, within less then two weeks and without any questions beyond the documentation we submitted, we received a check in full for our entire trip. That is service personified.

PS: Most important, our friend's wife had the surgery yesterday and is doing well. That is the best news!

Always better to have and feel protected with insurance just in case. Not many detailed comments since I didn't have to use it. I felt price was a bit high, but got least expensive as to what was offered.
