The GHIC is not enough to cover your emergency medical expenses when abroad. The UK Government recommends that all travellers from the UK get the recommended Travel Insurance policy for their destination.
It’s important to note that while the GHIC covers you for emergency medical costs, it will not cover you for anything that is not a direct medical cost, such as transport to and from hospital. It also won’t cover you for other holiday mishaps, like lost luggage, delays or cancellations.
At AllClear, we offer Senior Travel Insurance, so that you can have comprehensive cover at any age, no matter your conditions. So, if you’re looking for Travel Insurance for over 70s or over 60s we can help you!
