In order to validate your policy, its very important to declare ALL your medical conditions. DON'T underestimate the importance of travel insurance, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition. Peace of mind is priceless. DON'T forget to inform your home insurer if you're planning to be away for more than 30 consecutive days. Your cover may be restricted or even excluded so if in doubt, get in touch with your insurer. DON'T forget your EHIC Card if you are travelling to another EU Country. This gives you access to local healthcare free of charge or at a reduced cost, should you need it.
