Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
This was my first time purchasing this type of insurance for my child. I had many questions and the travel representatative was so helpful answering all of them. I would highly encourage you to call if you have any questions and you will have peace of mind when traveling or when your loved one is traveling.

Thank you Insure My Trip website for making selecting trip insurance easier. We always purchase trip insurance since I have had to use it a couple of times. I did make contact with Insure My Trip with questions after my daughter made a trip to the ER, but we were fortunate to be able to make our vacation plans. Customer support was excellent and the person was able to answer my questions. I feel that Nationwide Essential was the best plan for our family after being able to compare many different plans. Just so happy that I did not need to use it! Thank you!

Although we also insure with insuremytrip when we travel abroad, we have never had a claim. In that regard, we have no basis to evaluate the quality and efficiency of the service.
That said, the process of obtaining cover is always quick and efficient thanks to courteous, knowledgeable staff.
Prices seem reasonable for the cover we get.

In searching for travel insurance before my trip I found insure my trip. I determined that it provided exactly what I wanted and needed for a reasonable price. Although, I had checked with my very good health insurance company and determined I was also covered by them I wanted the extra protection coverage. It made a difference when I was abroad knowing I was well covered with health insurance. I am fortunate that I didn't have to file a claim but the peace of mind was nice.

I was glad I did not need it but would not have traveled without. Never know what could happen and knowing if something did I was covered! Will use you again if needed.

My father was placed on hospice 1 month prior to trip departure. I cancelled at that time and within 2 weeks received my refund difference. My father passed away during the trip dates, so not having to worry about the hassle of getting my money back was a great relief.

    Thank you for your 5 star review for your Nationwide Essential policy.
    Although we are very sorry to hear about the death of your father, we are pleased that Nationwide was able to provide such a quick settlement to your claim.

It was good to have peace of mind. Our cruise started with a delay to remove an I'll passenger from the ship by ambulance. Later, in Belfast, our ship was delayed again when a passenger died. These things do happen on vacations. I feel deeply for those passengers and their families and hope that they had insurance.
