    Good Points: The 14 day return policy is great.

    General comments: Knowing that I was able to come back to the UK if I needed to really put my mind at rest when I went travelling. It can feel a bit daunting if you plan a trip away for a long time, knowing that you would have difficulty coming back to the UK in case of an emergency, so this service felt like a bit of a lifeline.

    Very competitive, if you ' re looking for a brand you've heard of! I had previous policy with the cheapest I could find via confused and now I know why they were cheap. Terrible customer service and when I came to claim for having my bags stolen they wouldn't pay out. I guess it makes sense, if you buy cheap don't expect much! I paid about 26 quid for an annual Europe policy, obviously not the cheapest, but not expensive at all and for a well known brand name it ' s a great price. I always thoug ...

    American Express is the only travel insurer we would ever use, they have great cover levels as we holiday a lot and need ski cover. Actually broke my leg in France skiing last year. and they very helpful in the whole process of getting things sorted. Definitely recommended.

    I was told the camera I bought for £300 was valued at £60, that I needed to pay for an inspection before they'd consider paying out (which would cost me £30) and that I didn't have the excess waiver, so I'd have to pay for the first £50... Therefore if I went ahead with the claim I would end up £20 further out of pocket! Later found my policy docs which showed I did have the waiver - American Express had put me off claiming - not what I expected from I company I'd ...

    I haven't been unlucky enough to have to claim on my policy,(Though as I said know people who have) however, it gives me peace of mind of knowing I am insured by a company with a worldwide reputation to uphold.

    I have their card, motor and now travel insurance, they have always been very helpful and I got their annual travel insurance for just £30. Motor insurance was cheaper than everyone else's too.

    I've been with them a year. Tried to claim for losing two teeth in Australia but advised below the excess. Only cost me £70 anyhow. Will stick with them for now.

    I had picked a big brand name for my travel insurance, thinking American Express would care about the quality of their service and provide impeccable service. In the event, I had to make all the running to get I guess 90% of my claim paid. But I wouldn't complain would I? I'm just happy to be about and walking after breaking my neck, and I am tired of writing letters and calling different people. I do hope insurers read these reviews. I cancelled my policy with American Express immediately aft ...
