Europe and the E111 Form.
Even if you are just travelling to Europe you must take out travel
insurance.
Make sure you are fully covered, even for short breaks to Europe. Few EU
countries pay the full cost of medical treatment even under reciprocal health
service arrangements.
Fill in an E111 before you leave.
Take your E111 and a photocopy of it with you.
If you are driving, your car insurance will provide the minimum cover for
EU countries, which is liability to third parties.
Most people will want to have the same cover as they enjoy in the UK, you
are unlikely to be covered for breakdown, so make sure you are.
If you are taking your pet, you may need to make sure it is insured.
