Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
My wife have done extensive traveling both within the United States and abroad. I have always bought trip insurance but fortunately, until this last trip, have never needed it. We had to cancel our trip due to my wife's experiencing a medical problem en route. I submitted a claim for non-refundable expenses which was paid fairly and promptly. I am very pleased with the way the claim was processed and settled. I will heartily recommend InsureMyTrip to friends and relatives.

Purchasing the TruTravel Super saver plan gave us peace of mind. It was better to have it not need it then need it and not have it.

I use this plan twice a year and have never had to file a claim. However, There was a hurricane in the St Martin area but I was relaxed because we had TruTravel. Also, we were held up in line at customs last week and only made our flight by 5 min. I was not stressed as I knew we had travel guard to cover a flight home and a hotel for the night. Just like your AMEX.... don't leave home without it!!!

Fortunately I didn't have to use the plan even though I always purchase it. I would like to find out from someone who had to use it. How much were you reimbursed?

All I really want is coverage for beach house occupation cancellation or delays from storms. I don't need all the medical stuff. Would be nice to have a very cheap policy that just provided protection from lose of my rent for the beach house

This coverage gave me a secure feeling, when the vacation rental wanted all their money up front with a no refund policy.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
The process was easy, and the staff member on the phone was very patient and nice. I had never bought trip insurance before, and she answered all my questions without making me feel silly about how simple they were. She made the experience very pleasant, and I would use the service again for an expensive trip.
