Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
I had to cancel our trip due to an illness that prevented travel which occurred prior to our scheduled departure. The claim representative who I spoke to was friendly and helpful. She emailed me the necessary claim forms and emphasized that I should be sure to submit all of the requested documents to enable the claim examiner to make a decision. I submitted all of the documents by email. Within less than 30 days I received 2 checks in the mail (1 for me and 1 for my husband) reimbursing us for the full amount of the trip. I would highly recommend Nationwide and insuremytrip.com.

Excellent customer service. Really appreciated the bon voyage email the day we left on our trip so I had the policy readily available in my inbox when we were away. Will definitely use this service again!

Fortunately we did not have to submit a claim. But this was great peace of mind and a good price once my wife did some searching online. Much more reasonable than the cruise line prices.

This was the first time after many years of international travel that I used travel insurance. It was easy to understand, easy to access and reasonably priced (I did a little comparison). I didn’t use it at all

The policy provided me with peace of mind for critical items I was most concerned about. Luckily, I did not have to file a claim, but good to know coverage was there if I would have needed it.
