I wasn't thinking about medical coverage at all when I purchased this plan, but I broke my arm while on vacation in Ireland. As soon as I returned home, I filed a claim. I expected a lengthy process and requests for more paperwork. Instead, I received a check for all of my expenses within about two and a half weeks.

Only thing I would do different is make sure you book your flights within 10 of purchasing an insurance plan so they are covered read the fine print.

Thankfully I did not have to use my insurance, so I really have no opinion about how good of a policy this was.It made me feel safer to have it.

It's difficult to write a review about an insurance policy when you didn't file a claim.
That would be the real judge of good coverage.
I always feel more comfortable traveling with coverage than without.

Had to cancel due to illness. Nationwide quickly paid for my non refundable trip costs. First time that I had to make a claim but Nationwide was a great help. I always book travel insurance and will use Nationwide again.

Definitely easy to apply one insurance plan to the entire trip to cover flights, hotels, excursions, etc. Even though I did not have to utilize the plan, it always gives me peace of mind for the unexpected.
