Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Easy to use, convenient and good prices. I lost my email with the policy information, it would be good to have a copy of the policy available online. Otherwise very good service.

How can I give a true review if we did not have to file a claim? It's only when you file a claim that you find out how good the plan actually is.

Luckily, we didn't need to claim, so there's very little to say. The insurance served its purpose and, with all the Hurricane Sandy stories just before we left, we were glad to have that peace of mind. Cost was half of what the cruise line wanted to charge and included more.

Can't say how it worked for me as I didn't have to utilize it, but would purchase it again if I ever have need of it. Roberts and Katie's plans were purchased by me as they were traveling with me so they were not aware the plan was in effect. The service person I spoke to was helpful and courteous.

Happily, we didn't need to use our insurance but we appreciated the security of having the coverage. We also appreciated the last minute reminder that TruTravel e-mailed to us with the necessary numbers that we should call in an emergency.

I wish I had known that I needed to immediately get actual arrival time and new flight data from the airline for my flight delay claim. I waited until my trip was over and had difficulty in getting this information from the carrier. TruTravel was extremely helpful and promptly paid the claim when I finally got the information they needed.

My sister recommended your Travel Insurance.
It was reasonable and we are blessed that we did not need to use it! Yes, we would use your company again.
