Did not need to use the insurance though we did have a flight disruption that led to a missed connection. The airline paid for overnight stay and we were placed on airline flight the next day. Had no real financial loss except could not use accommodation one night in destination city, Melbourne- however our daughter had to use it. Glad that had the coverage just in case and feel fortunate that did not have to use it.

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Essential
The plan was easy to purchase online. Due to an accidental overbooking by our tour company, our travel dates needed to be changed. It completely slipped my mind to change our insurance until we were a couple of weeks away from our departure. They were awesome to work with and with proper documentation from the tour company changed our covered travel dates no problem. They were great at communicating with me and I really appreciate how on top of everything they were. We did not end up needing to file any claims, but it's nice to know we were covered.

Thankfully we didn’t need to file a claim. But the peace of mind for tgr easonable price of this plan was well worth it. I will be purchasing future coverage from Insure My Trip. They were so easy to work with and professional.

Although I did not have a need to use the trip insurance, the peace of mind knowing that I would be covered was well worth the very reasonable cost!

Fortunately, we did not have to file a claim while traveling on our Honeymoon. However, it brought a peace of mind to my wife and I knowing we were covered with such an affordable policy. Would definitely recommend this policy.

I have never needed or submitted a claim. However, it was comforting to know that I could if a medical emergency occurred with either myself or my 91 year old father and 85 year old mother.
