Great insurance coverage at a great price. I have another Nationwide policy for a cruise we have booked for next year (actually rebooked multiple times due to COVID), they transferred the policy each time it was rescheduled with such ease. I will always use Nationwide through Insuremytrip.com.

The Essentials plan that we purchased covered all the things we thought were essential, and at a reasonable price. I have bought this insurance before, and will buy it again. Nationwide has good reviews, and is the insurance company that underwrites insurance on the cruise line that I use as well. I can only get the plan I like by going through InsureMyTrip, and I have had good experiences dealing with them. I was able to change my insurance several times, as I had to change my trip plans due to COVID. Overall, I recommend both InsureMyTrip and Nationwide.

I didn't need it, but felt safer having extra coverage, since I was driving into Canada.

With all the problems with COVID-19 this company went the extra mile and showed me just how great their business really is. I will return business and let everyone I know to use this company.
