It's an individual's responsibility and a condition of booking to make sure you have appropriate travel insurance prior to travelling even if you choose to not purchase insurance through the NUCO booking page.


Travel insurance is not replaced by an EHIC and/or GHIC, and therefore should be purchased to work alongside.

A European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) gives you the right to access state-provided healthcare during a temporary stay in the EU. If you currently have an EHIC that is in date, this is still valid until the expiry date.

If your card has expired or you do not have one, this is now being replaced by a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC).

You can see more information and apply for a GHIC here.

More information on the insurance policy offered by NUCO can be found in our FAQs here.
