Why do you need travel insurance for Crete?

If you’re considering a trip to Crete and wondering if you need travel insurance, the answer is simple. Yes. In a world where the unexpected can happen, it’s always best to stay one step ahead. It may surprise you to know that even before the pandemic, insurers were paying out £570,000 every day in medical claims. As we move forward into a post-pandemic travel era – it’s now even more important to protect yourself and your holiday.

Comprehensive cover when travelling to Crete

Crete boasts 600 miles of coastline with beautiful beaches and stunning panoramic views. It’s home to ancient villages, with winding alleyways and cobbled streets. We want you to enjoy every trip you take safely.  So, if you’re planning a sunny escape to Crete this summer – get peace of mind from the UK’s most trusted travel insurance provider2

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.
