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.

Knowing we had the security of protection while abroad was well worth the cost of the insurance.

It's hard to be objective since I did not have to use the plan, however, the customer service people were polite and helpful when purchasing the plan.
