Travel Insurance

[DCLonghorn]

I'm about to book a two week honeymoon for June 2009 and would like to know everyone's thoughts on travel insurance? I'll be using my Amex card, which carries some travel benefits and I'm wondering if this would be enough? I could buy a policy from my travel agent ($400), Travel Guard, Extended Coverage from Amex or TravelEx.

$400? Ripoff.

I'd check into the Amex provisions.

I'm going to buy the Amex exteneded coverage for $30 per person. Should be good enough.

depends on what you think you need covered. Trip cancellation may be covered by Amex. If you're going somewhere exotic, you'd want to make sure you had medical evac covered in the policy. But $400 sounds WAY too high, I get multi-trip full year coverage for me and my wife for less than $100.
