Nationwide Mutual offers a good policy at a fair price. However, that is only half the story. InsureMyTrip helped me out with a small claim on my last cruise. Because of their great service, I will only book travel insurance through InsureMyTrip.

The best part of the Nationwide Essential plan was that I didn't need to use it and could relax during my vacation.

The plan was easy to purchase. I was able to speak with a customer service representative on the phone, as well as make the arrangements on my home computer. Since I don't travel much, and this was a big trip, I really appreciated the customer service.

This is a fairly inexpensive way to gain peace of mind that your trip cost is covered against cancellation/interruption/delay of travel. Just be sure to check that you aren't already covered through your credit card company.

I did not need to file a claim against this policy, but last year I did have a claim. The claims administrator treated me with fairness, respect, and paid in full. There was an unfortunate delay in payment, but the problem was with my health care provider, not the travel insurance company.

Although I did not have to use the plan, it provided me with peace of mind, just in case an accident happened. Also, the customer service was excellent! I will certainly use Nationwide for future trips.

You make it so easy. I picked out a plan, gave you my credit card and that was that. Haven't needed to file a claim, but it was nice to know I was covered.
