Urgent warning to Brits travelling to Spain, France & other hotspots this summer
Martin Lewis has issued an urgent warning to Brits travelling to Spain and France this summer.
The personal finance guru explained how changing regulations around two essential documents could leave Brits in the lurch.
First of all, he addressed the transition from the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to the Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC).
The cards guarantee British tourists access to state-run hospitals and GPs in all the covered countries at the same price as locals.
All EU countries are covered, as well as Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein and Switzerland.
Martin explained that 5.4 million of the old EHICs are set to expire this year.
They can be renewed at nhs.uk for free.
Martin said: “To renew it, it is always free.
“If anybody is charging you, they are a shyster trying to steal your money.
“There is no such thing as a fast track.”
