Do I need single trip travel insurance if I have a GHIC/EHIC card?

The EHIC and GHIC entitle the holder to medical treatment at the same price as residents within certain countries. This often means free or reduced costs. However, it won’t cover all medical expenses such as if you’re transported by private ambulance to a private clinic. It also doesn’t cover repatriation to the UK.

The EHIC/GHIC doesn’t work in all countries. It also won’t provide cover for cancellation, lost personal belongings or delayed departure, if something else goes wrong. So it’s always advisable to take out adequate travel insurance as well.

 Are there holiday length restrictions on single trip travel insurance?

Single trip travel insurance covers you for one period away from home – beginning when you set off on your journey and ending when you get back home. A single trip can be anything from one to 365 nights away. It can even be as short and as local as a one-night stay in the UK, as long as you’ve booked accommodation.
