Foreign Advice to travelling around Europe

     
     
    Plan Ahead  
     
    Every year, residents of the United Kingdom go on more than 56 million overseas journeys. Travel across the world is now so common that it is easy to forget the health risks, which can be involved, and the fact that very few countries offer such easy access to medical facilities as Britain. If you fall ill or have an accident when abroad, it could prove dangerous, even fatal. Obtaining treatment can seem complicated to UK residents used to the National Health Service. Unless you are properly prepared, it could turn out to be extremely expensive.  
     
    The level of emergency medical cover available to UK residents in countries around the world varies greatly. There are over 40 more countries (Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Malta, Australia, New Zealand, certain Caribbean Islands, and most republics of the former Soviet Union, including Russia) around the world with which the United Kingdom has reciprocal health care agreements that entitle you to emergency medical treatment in those countries. With the rest of the world, this includes some of the most popular travel destinations, such as Canada and the United States, India and the Far East, as well as the whole of Africa and Latin America - the United Kingdom has no health care agreements whatsoever. When you think about Travel Heath Insurance think GoSure.com - policy includes Air Ambulance and Repatriation.

  • At home lock all doors and windows and cancel milk and newspapers.
  • Take travellers cheques and/or credit cards. Avoid taking large amounts of Cash.
  • Avoid being a target for thieves and muggers by leaving your valuable jewellery at home. Don't forget most travel insurance policies have a single article limits. If you haven’t left your valuables at home, leave them in your hotels safe.
  • Make sure you have with you the emergency numbers to cancel your credit cards.

  • Avoid travelling alone.

  • Stick to the main roads and avoid taking shortcuts down narrow alleys and/or poorly lit streets.

  • Only use taxis, tours and other transportation services with official markings. Only select transportation from official pickup points at transportation hubs.
  • Be very careful if you are asked to sell or part with your personal items. Many countries have restrictions on items foreigners can sell or give away and you can get into serious trouble for violating those laws.
