Travel insurance for a single trip and GHIC cover

If your one trip is a European getaway, applying for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) would be sensible. However, Travel Insurance is still required. The scheme can provide emergency medical healthcare but doesn’t cover everything.

For example, the GHIC doesn’t cover repatriation (medical transport back to the UK); you can be left with a huge bill. Depending on the destination of your trip, the cost differs significantly. For example, repatriation from Spain to the UK is £18,000.
