Did not need to use the plan, but the price was worth the peace of mind knowing it was there for me.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Thanks so much Nationwide Insurance! I bought this policy for my parents who are over 60 years old for their trip to Vietnam. Three days before the trip my mom had a sudden sickness. I called to make the claim as soon a possible, and the claim was quickly initiated. We had to fill out some paper work and scan/submit documentation via emails. Within two weeks I received the payments! Thanks to CBPInsure! Even though they did not update the status of the claim, I didn't see why they would have to. Once again, thanks to a great insurance company, and a great plan. Our hard earned money did not go to waste because of an unforeseen sickness. After all that's what insurance is all about.

The plan was easy to compare to other plans, both in price and coverage. The purchase process was also very friendly.

Very good value. We always use InsureMy Trip. They offer similar plans to what travel companies offer at a better price.

I felt the plan was an excellent value except for one thing. I booked what I thought was a 14 day plan, but the dates of travel were actually 15 days of coverage. I was charged another $50 for an extra day coverage, and was told that plan charged for extra week of coverage because there was no rate for extra day. I would have paid same for 21 days.

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We understand why you would be disappointed by having to pay additional premium, but it is of critical importance to list the correct departure and return dates on the policy. Claims can be denied if you do not cover from the day you leave your home until the day you return to your home. Unfortunately, in doing the proper thing, you had to pay additional premium.

We used InsureMyTrip because we had a split stay, 6 nights Disney World, 5 nights Carnival cruise, and 3 more nights Disney World. To get insurance separately through Disney and Carnival would have cost more than double the cost of the plan we bought from Nationwide on InsureMyTrip.com. It was very easy to purchase and we got the coverage we wanted.
