"American Express Insurance Services " - Anon (14-Oct-2008)
Unique gap year travel option, with 14 day retun period to the UK and an option to exclude or include the US on the policy which significantly reduces the cost
A little bit more pricey, but worth it for the cover they give you
I would definitely recommend American Express Insurance's Gap product - if I hadn't of had that I would never have been able to fly back to the UK to re-take my exams without invalidating my insurance.

"American Express Travel Insurance could be better" - Anon (08-Aug-2008)
The family American Express travel insurance policy I purchased was relatively cheap.
The excess is too high so when I tried to claim for losing a couple of teeth on holiday in Brazil I was told the ?70 it cost me was less than the excess and so they would not help.
It was a minor setback so will leave my business with them for now.

"Good Cover, Despite Medical History" - Anon (08-Apr-2008)
Good rates, still not claimed myself but friends have and said the service was great.
Not the cheapest out there,
The fact you are dealing with a company that has a global rep to uphold is kind of reassuring. I know several people who have been quoted extortionate premiums for travel insurance elsewhere because of their medical history yet American Express has provided them with full cover for a fraction of the price.
