Our original flight to Florida was canceled due to the air traffic controller person who started the fire in Illinois in September and it didn't look like we would be able to make it there in time for our cruise. I called to see if we were covered and I was told that this was not one of the covered reasons. What good is insurance if it doesn't cover unforeseen events that are beyond my control? I asked to speak with a supervisor and was transferred to a voice mail. I asked for a return phone call which never came. As it turned out we made a last minute flight the next day and arrived at the ship one hour before departure. I did loose the cost of the hotel for one night and I had to pay a cab $100 to get us to the port on time instead of $30 for a shuttle that would have taken too long. The insurance sounds good but the company looks for any way to get out of paying. The outstanding folks at InsuremyTrip contacted me and helped with the above issue. I received a check today to cover the missed hotel room. The reason I selected Nationwide Mutual was because it was a recognized name, because the cost was slightly better than the competition and they offered significantly higher medical coverage which would be helpful if something serious happened. I will not book another insurance policy outside of InsureMyTrip. They provided excellent customer service.

I thought the cost for the amount of coverage was reasonable and would recommend this plan to others.

There was no need to make a claim but it was reassuring to know that all the time and money invested in the trip was backed up in the event of unforeseen or unexpected possibilities.

Going to a foreign country and getting sick could be very expensive. This insurance was very inexpensive. It made the trip easier to enjoy knowing medical was covered.

I did not need to use the plan but I was glad I had the coverage in case it was needed. I thought signing up and picking the plan online was easy.

Very easy and straight forward process with time to review and cancel if desired. Can't comment on the response to a claim as we had none. Will use again on our trip to Alaska.

It was an plan in case of an emergency. However I was fortunate not to have had to file a claim.

I did like that I was contacted before the trip and reminded to bring proof of coverage with me in case needed.
