Everyone knows holidays cost money but not so many people realise that they can get free European health insurance cover with the EHIC card.
As the EHIC says on their website, “If you are a UK resident, you are entitled to medical treatment that becomes necessary, at reduced cost or sometimes free, when temporarily visiting a European Union (EU) country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland. Only treatment provided under the state scheme is covered. However, to obtain treatment you will need to take a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) with you. Please note: Not all UK residents are covered in Denmark, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland.”

The card is completely free including postage so why not pick yours up for yourself and family Today. It literally takes 2 minutes to sign up and there is nothing else you need to do except remember take your card with you on your next vacation.
