European Heatwave FAQs

Can I get a refund if I cancel due to a heatwave?

This will depend on your holiday provider’s refund policy. You should contact them directly. You may only get a refund if there is official advice not to travel.

Is it safe to travel to Europe during a heatwave?

The FCDO has not warned against travelling to Europe, but you should check their latest advice before you go. You should also take precautions and drink plenty of water to stay safe.

Does travel insurance cover heatwaves?

You cannot claim under your Travel Insurance if you decide not to travel because of the heat, unless the FCDO advises against travel to your destination. Claims for cancellation will only be considered if your doctor declares you unfit to travel due to the risks associated with travelling to a destination experiencing a heatwave. Each claim will be individually assessed on a case-by-case basis.

 

Frequently asked questions

What does the GHIC cover in Spain?

The Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) entitles you to the same quality of healthcare that a Spanish resident has. However, there may be medical costs that GHIC cannot cover, such as repatriation costs. While the GHIC card is not a substitute for comprehensive Travel Insurance, it is useful. You can apply for a GHIC here.

Do I need a visa to go to Spain?

If you’re planning a trip to Spain or other destinations in the Schengen area, you’ll be delighted to know that you can visit visa-free for up to 90 days.

How do I get a visa for Spain?

If you wish to stay in Spain longer than 90 days you’ll need to meet the entry requirements set out by the Spanish Government. To get a visa you should visit the Spanish consulate in the UK to find out what type of visa you require.

A Travel Insurance premium will be based on several factors. These will include your age and any pre-existing medical conditions you may have.
