For UK residents before you
travel:
- Obtain an E-111 form: Reciprocal
Health Agreement Travellers to E.U. Countries are strongly advised
to obtain Form E-111 from a Post Office. This will entitle the
holder to benefit from the reciprocal health arrangements which
exist between E.U. Countries. Many insurers will waive the policy
excess if the E-111 form is used.
Do not rely on the E-111, it should not be regarded as an alternative to a
travel insurance policy which offers much more cover.- Make sure all passports, visas, vaccinations and health
requirements are up to date. Take all documents with you including
travel insurance certificate.
- At home lock all doors and windows and cancel milk and newspapers.
- Don't take large
quantities of cash. Take travellers cheques and/or credit cards. Advise your credit card company that you will be using your credit card overseas.
- Leave your
valuable jewellery at home: do not be a target for thieves and
muggers, and don't forget most travel insurance
policies have single
article limits . Make sure you have with you the emergency numbers
to cancel your credit cards.
When you are
travelling or on holiday:
- Don't leave your home address visible on your baggage.
- Keep all valuables, passports and money on you. Never pack these
items in checked in baggage.
- When you get to your destination, check that the tap water is safe
to drink. To be sure, drink bottled water and avoid ice drinks.
Check that the electrical fittings and heaters etc. in your hotel
room are safe.
- Remember the sun may be more powerful than at home especially near or on the water. Use high factor sun screen.
- Don't offer to carry any goods which you are unsure of, they could
be drugs.
- Never leave belongings unattended or with strangers, especially at
airports, stations, on the beach or places of entertainment, or
unattended in a vehicle.
- At your hotel, keep valuables and cash in a safe deposit box or in
the hotel safe.
- Please remember that you must obtain a police report in the event
of any loss or theft.
- And most importantly have a good trip.
