Attention!

The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) / Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) provides some emergency healthcare within the EU, but it does not cover Repatriation costs, or a doctor or nurse escort home; nor lost or stolen property. You need Travel Insurance for that.

An extensive range of Pre-Existing Medical conditions are covered as standard on all policies, you do not need to pay extra for Migraine, Tonsillitis, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and many other conditions, so long as you meet the criteria of our No Screen Conditions list. Check the list of “No Screen Medical Conditions” to see if your pre-existing medical conditions are included. Our Medical emergency assistance service is available 24 hours a day.

Excess of £250 applies to Cancellation or Curtailment covering for unrecoverable costs and deposits incurred if you are forced to cancel or cut short your trip as a result of specified causes such as death, injury, illness or redundancy.

“As you grow older, you’ll find the only things you regret are the things you didn’t do...” Zachary Scott.
