Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
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.

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.

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.

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.
