Question 1

Do I need a GHIC when travelling to Greece?

Accepted Answer

It's a requirement of our Europe travel insurance to take a GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card) or EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) with you when travelling to Greece. But remember a GHIC or EHIC is a compliment to travel insurance, not a substitute for it.

The GHIC or EHIC entitles you to free or reduced cost health care in the state health providers in Greece.

But remember, neither a GHIC or EHIC will cover you for non-medical related mishaps on your trip, and won't cover you if you need to be flown home. Only travel insurance can provide you with that peace of mind.

If you use your GHIC or EHIC when abroad, we will waive your travel insurance excess if you need to make a medical claim.

Question 2

How can I make changes to my travel insurance policy?

Accepted Answer

You can make changes to your policy before your trip starts, subject to the T&Cs of your policy.

If you need to update your medical details or add any optional extras, please log in to your My Staysure account or speak to one of our friendly team on 0333 006 8052. You might need to pay an extra premium.

Please note, we can’t reduce your cover in return for a partial refund. So, check you’re happy you’ve got the right level of cover when you take out your policy.

Question 3

Is Greece in Europe for travel insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Greece is covered under Staysure’s European travel insurance, so you won’t need worldwide cover for your trip. Our European policies are designed to protect you with benefits like medical emergency cover, cancellation protection, and more.
