Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Unfortunately, I was forced to file a claim for travel delay caused by my airline, resulting in the loss of the first day of vacation in Barbados. The claim was handled promptly and with no hassle for the full amount of my loss. I will be using this again and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
Paul L. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

Claim was delayed by "lost" check, but promptly reissued when we got in touch with the representative. Very helpful and all resolved to our satisfaction.

The Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential coverage and price seemed fine. I did not need to file a claim, so I don't know how well they are with that.

I always recommend InsureMyTrip to my friends and future travelers. I never travel with out having this company go with me. The price is right and they do what an A+ job. I know because we have had to file a claim before. They have always come through. You will never make a mistake when using InsureMyTrip.

We were detained 5 hours and would have preferred the option next time of more coverage before a 6 hour delay.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We are sorry to learn that you were delayed during the trip. The large majority of comprehensive policies provide a Travel Delay benefit if you are delayed en route to or from the Covered Trip for 6 or more hours or 12 or more hours due a covered Hazard. In the future, please call us at 800-487-4722 so we can direct you to the policies that require a 3 or more hour or a 5 or more hour delay for the Travel Delay benefit. Please keep in mind, the covered reasons for Travel Delay may vary slightly from plan to plan. The Travel Delay benefit typically covers reasonable additional expenses such as hotel accommodations, meals, local transportation, and telephone calls.

When Delta wouldn't provide a document that was needed for my claim, the Nationwide Mutual agent offered to call Delta to get the information. The claim was paid so we're all good. That's above and beyond service in my book.
Thank you!
