Have used InsureMyTrip several times and I like the ability to pick the coverage I want, at the rate provided. I work a great deal with insurance, and find that one should really consider travel insurance for their trips. Medicare does not cover care while out of the US and most commercial plans greatly reduce or negate coverage once out of the US. Thank you, as I find it very helpful and don't book with cruise lines as I do better on your site with coverages and choice.

Did not have any problems we could not take care of on our own. Thankfully we did not have to use insurance but it was a comfort to know it was there.

The customer service representative I spoke with was very friendly and helpful. This was the second year in a row I used InsureMyTrip and will continue to do so as I go to Aruba every year. Thank you.

I recommend to everyone who suffers from pre-existing medical conditions to insure their trip, with Nationwide or other insurance providers that offer a pre-existing medical condition waiver. The unpredictability of a medical emergency is what prompted me to get the insurance. I'm grateful I did not have to use it, but had peace of mind knowing that I could if I had to.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
When booking a trip to Bermuda for my family months in advance, I had the opportunity to get a 40% reduced rate for a very expensive hotel with the conditions that it be prepaid and nonrefundable (for any reason) and of course the air travel was nonrefundable. I have an elderly father and was concerned about his health and the possibility of my family having to cancel our trip should anything happen. A friend suggested we purchase travel insurance through InsureMyTrip and it gave us the piece of mind we needed to proceed with the booking. The fee for Nationwide was 3% of the total cost of the air and hotel combined. WHAT A DEAL!! Luckily, we didn't have to use the insurance but we will certainly use InsureMyTrip for all vacations in the future.
