Travel Insurance

DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!!

It cannot be stressed enough how important it is to take adequate travel insurance cover when travelling abroad, even to the European Union (EU).

Travel insurance is not just about having cover for your digital camera or luggage in case they go missing – more importantly it’s about covering yourself and family in the case of a medical emergency or accident. Should you require medical treatment and/or repatriation to the UK then AIS Directs insurers EuropAssist has a highly experienced team at the end of a phone to assist you.

Many people are still under the impression that when travelling within Europe, the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC which replaced the E111) is sufficient if you require medical treatment/need repatriation. IT IS’NT!! 

The EHIC only provides limited cover in the EU, not the whole of Europe, and repatriation is not included. The EHIC should be used in conjunction with your travel insurance policy and not as a substitute.

So when planning your holidays, please remember to include travel insurance as part of your costs. 

Always read your policy carefully to ensure that you have got the right cover for the type of holiday and destination you are planning to take.
