With aging parents, purchasing trip insurance gives us a bit of peace of mind. We don't leave home for trips without it.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
Well, it seemed like the plan offered the coverage I wanted and needed. But I didn't have a claim. Having filed a claim once before (with a different company), I can say that a claim is where the rubber meets the road and where one finds out more about the company than if you just rent their insurance for a while and don't have a claim. So, no complaints about Nationwide Mutual, and the coverage seemed reasonable and reasonably priced. But no claim experience. (The program forces you to choose a satisfaction rating, which is too bad, because I was satisfied, so I gave them 5 stars, didn't seem right to punish them, but it doesn't mean much when there's no claim. Really, there should be a "not applicable" or "no claim" choice for the satisfaction rating.)
