Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
My husband got sick and was hospitalized just weeks before our vacation. This was the first time I've ever had to actually use our travel insurance.
It was easy to submit the claim and I received my reimbursement in less than two weeks.
I was very impressed with the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and will use them again.
Robin B. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

Thankfully we did not have to file a claim. I do not fell like I really speak to the service as I did not have to use it.

Thankfully, I did not have to use it. But, Nationwide is a known company so I felt confident that claims would be taken care of, if I needed it.

It was a very reasonable price with more benefits compared to insurance that you can purchase from cruise lines or travel agents.

Every time I book a trip, I call InsureMyTrip so I can get the best rate possible. I also check with the cruise line at the time of booking on their prices. I have never had to use the insurance but I certainly don't want to be without it. I have seen far too many medical emergencies on and off the ship to take the chance of being uninsured.

InsureMyTrip is the easiest way to see an array of coverage and allow the user to select the plan with the options they feel they need. Nationwide offered a plan that met all my requirements both in coverage and price. Travel insurance is pure peace of mind!
