Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
This is the second time I have used InsureMyTrip. All went well this time, but the 1st time we were delayed 2 days, and filing a claim & getting a check was easy and efficient. I will continue to use their services on future travel.

My husband and I travel to Mexico twice a year on average and we always get insurance. We would much prefer to go on the vacation but you never know what may happen! And this time it did!..We are totally pleased with the customer service department and the promptness our claim was processed. We already have our checks and it was only 3 weeks ago.

I purchased the Super Saver plan never thinking i would use it. Bad weather caused a two day travel delay and it cost me additional expenses. I filed a claim and got money within weeks. I am complete satisfied! I worked with Nicole(Tru Travel Claims) and she was awesome.

    I agree! I also purchased the same plan and had to file a claim for the Princess Cruise Norovirus incident when our cruise was shortened by two days. This was considered a trip interruption and my claim was processed the same day I submitted it by e-mail. I was told I will be receiving a check in 10-12 days! No hassles at all. I will definitely be using Tru Travel again and again! Mary in Missouri

We always use InsureMyTrip for all of our vacations. Fortunately, we have never had to file a claim, but we travel worry-free knowing we have the coverage should anything ever happen.

I felt I needed some type of insurance to travel. I did compare and felt the price was acceptable for something I hoped to not use. I also wanted it to be enough if I did need it. I do know there is a glossary to follow but the language for all the insurances is difficult to decipher.

Thankfully, I did not need to file a claim. I bought an inexpensive policy to cover the most drastic circumstances, such as a serious illness, death or an accident in route. It was a small price to pay for peace of mind.

It was easy to sign up for the insurance and gave me peace of mind. Thankfully we did not have to use it so I cannot give any feedback on how well they cover claims, etc.

    Though expensive they have not contested any element of the 3 clam (one was emergency evacuation and medical with costs had to file in probably in 80-90 trips over 40 years.

Thank Heaven we didn't need to use our plan. It was very inexpensive for what we needed, medical care and repatriation, as we were on a 2 week cruise. Also covered our return if a loved one at home got ill. The agent was informative but couldn't comment specifically about one plan or another except to say what was covered. I will use InsureMyTrip again for travel.
