I didn't need it but was very glad I had it. I had a very comprehensive policy and great peace of mind while I traveled.

Your cost was less expensive than the quote I received from the travel agent. I had no worries since I was insured.

In comparing insurance companies, I found the best rate and coverage for travel insurance through Nationwide. Thankfully, I didn't need to use it, but I would definitely consider buying insurance for a future trip with them. The phone representative was very friendly and seemed genuinely interested in helping me pick the right coverage to fit my needs.

After researching several plan options, this was the best plan and the most reasonable. It covered everything that was important to us and helped us feel safe and reassured that if we had an issue, we would be more than adequately covered. We would recommend this plan and also use it again when we next travel.

Bought this plan since I was on a skiing trip to Colorado. Did not have to file a claim, but I wish I had this plan on a similar trip a few years ago when I did get hurt and had to pay out of pocket (my primary health insurance had $5000.00 deductible).

I feel a discount should be given if someone uses your insurance more than once a year. we go away about 3-4 times a year and the insurance gets very expensive

    Thank you for your feedback on the policy. We appreciate your choosing InsureMyTrip for your travel insurance needs. Unfortunately, we cannot offer discounts for insurance. Insurance is regulated by the individual states. Most states have laws against rebating which is offering a refund of part or all of the premium as an enticement to place the insurance with the agency.
