We purchased this plan for peace of mind. Fortunately, we did not have to use it. The premium was very reasonable compared to the potential loss if we had to cancel our cruise.

We had to cancel our trip due to my husbands illness. It took them about 4 weeks after we got the paperwork to them for us to get money back. Very happy with everyone I talked to with questions..

It’s hard to review a plan when I didn’t actually need to leverage the coverage.

    Nationwide, as do most insurance providers, calculates their Compre-hensive Plan premiums based on the traveler's age, cost of trip and length of trip.

    In the future, you may wish to call us for assistance at (800) 487-4722 when quoting and purchasing a policy.

This is the third time I have used this insurance. Luckily I only needed the coverage once. When I did file a claim the response was excellent. Great insurance at a great price. Highly recommend.

Even though I didn't have to make a claim, after reading the many reviews before I purchased the plan, I knew this was the plan and company I wanted to use. The price was very reasonable and the coverage was exactly what I would have needed incase there was a problem.
