What is European travel insurance?
Wherever you might be going in Europe, whether it's just across the channel to visit France or on a relaxing holiday in Turkey, European travel insurance could not only protect you against unexpected costs but it could also give you peace of mind, so you're left to simply enjoy your holiday, worry and hassle-free.
*The cheapest single trip policy is £2.75 (based on 1 adult aged 28 travelling in Europe for up to 3 days). Prices correct on the 02/04/2013.
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) could provide you with free state medical care, but it only applies to EU countries and it does not include transportation to the hospital or repatriation back to the UK.
What could European travel insurance cover?
- Emergency medical treatment if you fall ill
- If your luggage, personal possessions and travel money are lost or stolen, you could recover the value of your items
- Expenses from delays and cancellations if your flights are delayed or if you have to cut your trip short
- Airline insolvency cover could come in handy if your airline goes bankrupt
