Hi, it is the time of year when all the insurance is due, including Travel Insurance.
Last year we used EHIC Plus, we tried a lot of others, but decided not to take out a mortgage to pay for some of them!!
The EHIC plus relies on you using the EHIC card, and we have just received the renewal and in large black letters it states. "This insurance policy provides NO MEDICAL CARE EXPENSES coverage because it is limited to trips to and within European countris that are members of the reciprocal health agreement that underpin the EHIC card."
Now we dont want baggage cover, or delayed flight etc etc, so my question is - What exactly are we paying our ÂŁ120.70 for?? The only thing I can see is repatriation (of the body!)?
Any ideas or comments would be appreciated. It seems to me we are too easily conned into buying insurance "Just in case". Am I wrong? or will something be bound to happen if for the first year we dont take out travel insurance?
Ginny and Mike
