Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
The low price is well worth the peace of mind for a vacation, particularly when one has elderly parents.

My last 2 trip insurance policies from InsureMyTrip.com have been with TruTravel Super Saver. This trip I did not have any claims but my trip several years ago my claim was for over $7000. The claim was handled efficiently and there were no issues getting a refund for the trip. I am highly satisfied with both InsureMyTrip and TruTravel.

It's difficult writing a review because I didn't have to use it. It was reasonably priced. It would be nice to receive a portion back due to not having to use the policy.

Disappointed that my travel delay claim was denied based on what I think is a small technicality in what is deemed a "hazard" - namely, a significant delay at Customs due to government slowdown/budget cuts that caused us to miss our flight. We spent extra funds, and lost valuable time and wages waiting for the next available flight (an extra 2 days). I do realize this was not specifically covered in the "fine print," but it would have been a nice gesture to receive even a partial amount towards the claim. I still think travel insurance is important and will consider TruTravel when booking future trips.

Thankfully I did not need to file an insurance claim, but just knowing that I had a policy eased my fears if for some unexpected reason I had to cancel or interrupt my trip. The rep was excellent and explained everything to me. I have already recommended her to a friend. Thank you.

Obviously, one can only comment if one makes a claim. I did not but prior to travel I was contacted by InsureMyTrip to let me know what my options were because Carnival cruise lines was cancelling some cruises. We weren't affected by Carnival but it was good to get the communication from InsureMyTrip. Thanks!
