Why do you need travel insurance for Gibraltar?
Gibraltar is a fantastic destination. Thousands of Brits visit ‘The Rock’ year-on-year, both on cruises and as its own unique holiday hotspot.

In fact, members of the Association of British Insurers (ABI) are expected to pay out £152 million on travel insurance claims incurred in 2020.

- 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.

GHIC and travelling to Gibraltar
Travelling to Gibraltar and confused about the validation of your EHIC card following Brexit? As long as your EHIC was issued before the end of 2020, it will remain valid until its expiry date.
Once your EHIC expires it will be replaced with the Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) as part of the Brexit agreement. GHIC is free via the official website.
Before travelling, you should know that the GHIC is still not a substitute for comprehensive medical travel insurance.
