Travel Insurance

Whether you’re lying on the beach, exploring a bustling city or heading off to a work meeting, travel is always a welcome break from your routine. But things can also go wrong - from delayed flights, lost baggage to falling ill in a foreign country. That’s where travel insurance can protect you and your wallet from these unforeseen events, so you can have peace of mind and enjoy your trip stress-free.

As an American Express Cardmember, you get basic automatic travel insurance for both local and international travel when you purchase your travel ticket(s) on your American Express^® Credit Card¹.

Basic Automatic Cover has the following exclusions:

• Pre-existing medical conditions are not covered
• Hazardous pursuits, partaking in activities that can endanger your life,  like sky diving

As with all policies, conditions do apply.  Because certain events and pre-existing medical conditions are not covered under the basic automatic insurance, we have arranged top-up packages to enhance your cover. These include:

• Three options of incremental medical emergency cover, and cover for baggage loss, baggage delay, missed travel connections and ticket upgrades.²
• Additional Medical Emergency Cover 
• Cancellation of trip 
• Cutting journey short due unforeseen emergency circumstances
• Travel delay
• Emergency medical and related expenses for a medical conditions that existed prior to travel
• Baggage loss, baggage delay, missed travel connections
• Cover for senior travellers (between the ages of 75 and 85)

If you require additional cover you can buy the optional top-up cover at an affordable fee.
