Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
As I did not file a claim, it is difficult to judge how good this policy would be when it comes down to conducting the business of settling someone's problem. I know that for the short business trip I was taking, the policy appears to have covered the things of a great concern for me: trip interruption, trip cancellation, lost luggage (since some of mine was work-related). And for under $30, it seems to take a good deal into consideration for such a reasonable price. I would not have chosen it had I not read reviews from others who had actually filed claims. I have two more trips upcoming -- both for pleasure, so TruTravel will definitely be at the top of my list when I'm seeking quotes.

Didn't need to use any aspect of it, so kind of hard to review.

Although I did not have the need to file a claim the price that I paid for my coverage was pennies compare to what the airline wanted to charge me just for the airfare coverage.

Never had to use it, so cannot tell how it would have worked, but I prefer to not know.

I have already recommended TruTravel to others and purchased it again for us because we had to file a claim for a cancelled trip in 2009 and our claim was paid to our complete satisfaction with no problems or hassles
whatsoever. We will continue to buy this plan whenever we travel.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
I was so happy to find InsureMyTrip.com. I had tried other insurers but there was a flaw in their policy guidelines. If I needed to cancel my trip because of a family issue, I needed to make sure that all my family members were considered family under their policy. If you have "step" family members, you need to query your travel insurer in great detail making sure all members are covered. In my case while shopping for coverage, all "step" members were covered with the exception of "step siblings". Somehow those important family members were omitted from guidelines of at least two companies I contacted. Once I found InsureMyTrip.com, that problem went away. Their policy guidelines covered ALL "step" family members. I will certainly use InsureMyTrip.com again in the future. They were outstanding to work with and found the right coverage just for me.
