Company details

Why choose American Express?

American Express has a great insurance offering for gappers and backpackers. They can cover you for up to 18 months, which is brilliant if you're doing an extended round the world trip. We've all encountered setbacks when travelling: cancellations, delayed departures, lost luggage - even medical emergencies. Taking out American Express Travel Insurance gives you reassurance that you’re protected anywhere if problems like these occur.

Cover is available for travel worldwide and you can choose a policy which includes, or excludes, North America and the Caribbean. Worldwide excluding North America and the Caribbean does include a maximum stopover of 48 hours in the USA - again, great for round the world trips.
