What should a travel insurance policy for Crete cover?
When researching and comparing various policies – look for cover that includes the following:
- Emergency medical expenses – cover for unforeseen circumstances while you’re away. To make sure you’re fully covered, you must declare all pre-existing medical conditions.
- Repatriation to the UK – it’s vital to include repatriation (medical transport) back to the UK in your policy. Without this cover, you could face an extensive bill.
- Cancellation and curtailment – cover for cancellation or cutting short your holiday due to medical conditions or other unforeseen events. Baggage and personal property – if your bags or personal property get lost, damaged or stolen while you’re away.

Do you still need travel insurance when travelling to Europe if you have GHIC?
The Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) does not replace or substitute travel insurance; it replaces the former EHIC card following Brexit.
Your EHIC will become invalid after its expiry date. You’ll then need to request a GHIC online via the official website.
With a GHIC card, you’ll have access to the same level of medical care as residents of the participating country. However, it doesn’t provide medical cover for all circumstances – making travel insurance vital for any trip abroad.
