I purchased a fairly basic plan for coverage on a trip to Morocco. I wound up having to cancel my entire trip, a week or two beforehand, as my daughter had some medical issues. Nationwide covered ALL my expenses -- tour company, airfare and hotels! The process was very straightforward -- I just provided the documentation they requested and, about a month later, received a check for the full amount, in the mail. Didn't even have to talk to anyone! I definitely expected more rigamarole and negotiation.
Overall, I'd highly recommend Nationwide for travel insurance!

Yes I would recommend, however we did not use it so I cannot attest to the coverage. Clark Howard a local Georgia economist recommended this company so we used them. Price seemed reasonable to us.

I did not need to file a claim but it was easy to get the insurance and covered mist of what I needed it to cover

Just took a while to get through the process. My only concern is if we had a medical issue, would it take the same amount of time or could you cover cost when they occur at a hospital.

Great policy and easy to purchase. Was able to flex the plan and associated cost based on the items we wanted covered. This particular policy is a great option for those doing an ocean or river cruise as part of their international travel plans. I liked the Bon Voyage email that InsureMyTrip.com sent us prior to our trip which summarized the policy coverage and provided key customer care contact information.

We have always purchased trip insurance for our vacation travels. This was the first time I had ever had to file a claim. Our connecting flight was delayed over 3 hours causing us to miss embarkation in Miami for our 7-day cruise. The first 2 days were spent at sea and the first port of call in St. Kitts. We would not be able to get to the ship until 3 days later. We thought that our comprehensive insurance would reimburse us. However, we received an email notification from Nationwide denying our claim stating that because the flight was only 3 hours delayed we were not eligible to be reimbursed for anything. We were not refunded for trip delay or trip interruption. We paid just over $5K for the vacation and another $197 for the insurance that proved to be worthless. I would not recommend buying trip insurance from Nationwide.

I didn't make any claims so I don't know how that would have turned out.
