Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Basically you're shopping for coverage vs. price. No rocket surgery here. These guys seemed to have the best deal based on the homework I did.

We did not have to use the policy but I slept much better knowing it was there if we needed it.

The price seemed like one of the best. Thankfully we didn't need to make any claims. It's hard to say that a company is great when you haven't experienced their claim services, but it is fair to say that there were no problems.

No issues since trip went fine. If it hadn't then my feedback may be different.

I think travel insurance is too expensive considering how few claims I believe there are. Otherwise, this was the most comprehensive at the lowest price, although I couldn't say how well they do with a claim.

Having the piece of mind that we would be okay financially should something go wrong during our vacation so far away from home was very important to me so I could relax and not worry about the unknowns and what ifs.

We had a trip interruption due to a medical problem. TruTravel Super Saver would only pay if I was diagnosed in Africa, however I was diagnosed by a doctor in the USA and notified of the condition while we were in Africa.
TruTravel was not at all flexible on this.

    I filed an appeal with TruTravel. Their agent was very unresponsive. I had to call and email just to get a response even when one was promised. They denied the appeal, which is what I expected from them. I would never use this company again and recommend you don't use them either. If you have to file a claim, expect it to be denied.

Well unfortunately I wasted $120.00 on this plan but it was awesome knowing I had the plan behind us if we needed it. For the money I thought the plan offered a good broad coverage of our needs. The plan even covered us before we left the house. The main reason I wanted the plan was it is hurricane season. The weather was perfect so thanks again for offering a great service.
