Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
We shopped around for insurance to cover our Alaskan cruise and this was a far better policy and price than was offered by our travel agent. Having insurance gave us the comfort that if something did happen before or during our trip that a majority of the pre-paid cost would be covered.

The Nationwide Mutual insurance plan gave us peace of mind if something went wrong. We didn't need to use the insurance so we weren't sure if this was the right kind of insurance. There was no need to find out if it was a good plan.

I felt at ease knowing that our trip was covered. We have never had a claim, but it's nice to know that it's there if you need it. I am about to purchase coverage for another upcoming trip.

Submitted a Travel Delay claim due to return flight having been cancelled. Carrier advised us it would be 48 hours before they could provide an alternate flight, so I purchased a 1-way ticket with another carrier for a flight that left sooner. I incurred expenses of $263 (replacement airfare plus meals.) I submitted a claim and received a check for $150 (the maximum daily amount provided by my policy) in exactly 10 days. The company did what they were supposed to do, in a timely manner and without any hassles.
Michael V. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

I compared the price and features offered with this plan with several other companies. Nationwide mutual had the best coverage for the price offered. I read a lot of positive reviews by others about Nationwide and the company sounded like a good choice for my needs. Fortunately, I didn't need to file a claim but I'm glad I purchased it for the peace of mind.
