Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
The customer service people were very well informed and patient. They took the time to understand exactly what kind of coverage I was looking for, review the different options, and help me make a decision. They then emailed all the information to me in written form and were happy to answer whatever questions I had.

My golf clubs were delayed almost 3 full days on the return trip. I did not realize that they were covered for only the outward leg. I would have wanted it for both ways and would have paid extra for it.

    Most policies say baggage delays only covered outward bound. They figure you can live with your own stuff once you get home. Makes sense.

I compared more than a dozen plans to find the one that best suited my needs... at the price I liked. I have yet to need the services of travel insurance; but, I am confident that when that day comes I will be insured thru InsureMyTrip.com

Having the trip insurance gave us that extra piece of mind, knowing that if there was an emergency we were taken care of. As with any insurance, it is great if you don't ever need it! We had a wonderful trip and I will definately use insuremytrip.com for my next vacation.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
While I always buy travel insurance, this was my first experience in filing a claim. The policy was selected based upon a lesser policy price for good coverage due to cancellation, interruption or delay. My claim was for delay - our flight was cancelled and rebooked for the next day. Although we were provided overnight accommodations, out-of-pocket expenses were incurred for meals and internet (not free at hotel). I learned after the fact that internet was not covered. The claim process was very easy - completion of a form and submission of receipts & copies of boarding passes via email. No questions were asked (I had good documentation). I received a check for meal reimbursement 4 weeks from date of claim.
