I can't say if it was worth it, since I didn't have to make a claim. I'm sure glad I had it, in any case.

We are fortunate enough to have never needed to use our travel insurance but I would never travel without it.

I needed insurance for a cruise and the plan offered by the cruise line was very pricey. I did my research and learned about InsureMyTrip. I read through their many options and the website was user friendly and very detailed. Still, I wanted peace of mind before purchase so I called customer service and quickly got to a very nice representative who answered all my questions and explained everything clearly. I will recommend InsureMyTrip to others and will purchase from them again.

I did not need to make a claim but it gave me peace of mind knowing I had insurance. My travel companion needed medical care for conjunctivitis. Also, There were several emergency medical announcements on the ship. A coast guard helicopter rescued for a woman who needed immediate medical attention. An unexpected medical emergency is a reality and I recommend having insurance to cover costly medical expenses while traveling.

Although we didn't need to act on the policy, there was peace of mind knowing that we had taken the necessary precautions in the event of an unforeseen emergency. With aging parents in poor health, one never knew if we might be called away to deal with a particular situation. The policy from Nationwide fit the bill for us!

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. Nationwide travel insurance does not exclude coverage for pre-existing medical conditions of non-traveling family members. However, there is no coverage for foreseen illnesses. Coverage is provided for an unforeseen worsening of condition, which can be verified by the attending physician.
