- How much your trip cost – if you unexpectedly have to cancel, will your policy cover the cost of your flight and hotel?
- What activities you’ll be doing – if you’re doing something unusual or a little bit dangerous, make sure you have adventure and extreme sports cover
- How much medical cover you want – accidents and illnesses can happen to anyone, and you don’t want to be left with a hefty hospital bill.

Healthcare in Romania
British citizens should always carry a free European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC), when travelling in Romania. This will cover essential treatments you might need at public healthcare centres or hospitals during your trip. However, you should still have travel insurance for Romania in place to be able to cover the costs of any unexpected medical treatment the EHIC/GHIC might not cover, including repatriation costs.
