We had two incidents during the trip which might have been eligible for coverage by the plan, but both were successfully resolved. Nonetheless, it was reassuring to know that we would have had coverage if needed.

I purchased the Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company Essential plan as travel insurance coverage for my trip to Portugal. The process to obtain travel insurance was simple and convenient. Thankfully, I did not need to file a claim, but I felt good knowing I had coverage in the event of an incident.

The price of the policy was fine. Be careful to read the Exclusions section of the policy because many common items (e.g. cell phones, eye glasses) and circumstances (e.g. theft from a vehicle) are not covered. We needed to file a claim for a stolen backpack and it was a little frustrating because the claims processor subcontractor's website provides no indication that they had even received our submission until after they made a determination, which took a week.

This was the first time in my life taking out travel insurance. We had a tropical storm interrupt our trip keeping us from making it to our hotel reservation. That hotel still charged us for the full amount & being stuck an extra night on a different island we had to quickly find accommodations for that night . The policy we purchased covered both of us for both nights . After I filled out a claim & submitted receipts I happily received full reimbursement for both lodgings . It did take about 8weeks , but I was told when I submitted my claim that they were short staffed & it would take awhile . They even sent me an email after 4 weeks apologizing for the delay . I was thrilled to get reimbursed which encouraged me to purchase this same insurance for our next trip ! Thank u

I called for assistance because my husband had forgotten to bring all hidd medications. We were told there was nothing you could do to help us obtain the meds, and I was very disappointed by that.
