    If you go through Quidco, you can get American Express insurance for £10! x

    Hi

    How do you get it for £10? For annual travel insurance (europe) it comes out at £60 before quidco of £15 cashback=£45?

    I did look at American Express but it came to £60 for a year so even with cashback its more expensive

    Is that for one person? The budget cover is £30, so £15 after Quidco?

    Budget Cover is more than adequate for Europe.

    Edit: Sorry, just realised I put £10 on my original post. Was a good few months ago, so don't know whether they have changed the prices or my memory is just bad! x

    I think you'll find the prices above are for 2, the ones I quote from AE are for 2 people (£60). I know the Post Office had an offer on, but think it expired at the end of last week.

    Update - looks like the Post Office offer has been extended...for Annual Insurance for a family it comes out at £54. You get £13.60 if going through Quidco, so in reality it's £40.40 - not bad!

    Yep, that would make sense - always helpful when someone tells half a story! :rolleyes:
