Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Since I had no claim, it is hard to give a review. I would not have purchased the plan if I did not think it would suit my needs. I also thought it was very reasonably priced compared to similar plans.

Fortunately, our trip went smoothly and we did not need to use the insurance. But having it provided peace of mind. The site made it easy to compare various plans and features and the price was quite reasonable.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
We bought an insurance package from TruTravel last year for a trip to Tanzania, and had to file a claim when my husband and son's portion of the trip was delayed due to weather at Heathrow. Their added expenses of new air tickets, hotel, transportation and food in London, and the part of the prepaid safari they missed in Tanzania, was mostly covered and we received $10,000 for trip delay and interruption. We worked Kelly Nelson at TruTravel who was extremely helpful and cooperative. We were more than pleased with the outcome.

We were satisfied with the price and what the plan covered. Luckily we didn't have to use it but it was a comfort knowing we had it in case of an emergency.
Thank You

I only filed one claim with the company and that was for an medical emergency. The fee for treatment was a reasonable 75.00. TruTravel reimbursed 25.00. A few years ago we used American Express as our travel insurer and had a similar incident. American Express reimbursed for the entire amount. Not a fan of TruTravel and will not use them in the future.

A minor flight delay expense was immediately responded to and paid off within a few weeks. Very satisfied with their claims department.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
The plan was set up more for people taking cruises or tours. We were traveling independently,so aside from airfares, it was hard to estimate the cost of the trip. We buy the insurance for peace of mind, but given our particular circumstances, I feel that all the travel insurance companies are slightly overpriced. However, I might have felt differently if I had had occasion to file a claim. Fortunately, that was unnecessary.
