Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
I am thankful I didn't need to employ the coverage, but was happy that I had it for peace off mind. I can't really say how great the coverage was. Everything I needed seemed to be included. However, I know that unless you file a claim, you don't know what kind of service you actually get. I was happy with the ease with which to purchase the coverage and what it covered.

I didn't have to file a claim, so I was 100% happy. I felt secure knowing, just in case I needed it, help was there.

As with all insurance policies, you buy hoping to never need it. This policy provided the peace of mind we needed and thankfully, didn't have to use any of its features. We will be purchasing additional policies like this one for all our future trips. Highly rated carrier and good coverage for the price.

It's harder to review the Nationwide plan having, essentially, not used it. I chose this plan for coverage and value.

There was no need to contact your company for a reimbursement so I can't rate your service..

The Nationwide Mutual Essential Plan covered what I needed at a lower cost than cruise line and I was able to also cover my airfare.

I have purchase travel insurance with Nationwide insurance in the past. I also purchased through them for a February cruise vacation. They have less restrictions than so of the other insurance providers at a lower cost.

Fortunately, I have not had to use the insurance.
