Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
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.
Kathleen B. would recommend this plan to a friend or relative.

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.

Since I didn't need the insurance, the plan seemed fine. Just knowing it was there was a comfort.

This plan was much less expensive and provided better coverage than the others I researched. I cannot comment on the claims service since I did not file a claim.

An excellent value. This plan provided extensive coverage at less cost than comparable plans. We did not use the plan but felt secure just knowing that we had it.

I am glad that I did not have to file any claims. I paid for peace of mind and the insurance that my flight cost would be covered if I was too ill to travel. Luckily I am healthy for 75 yrs old.
