In the case travel insurance has not been included, GTI Travel strongly recommends customers have adequate travel insurance. GTI Travel in conjunction with Blue Insurance can offer a fully comprehensive insurance that covers you from the date of issue until you return from your holiday. This includes cancellation of your holiday due to illness or bereavement of an immediate family member, personal accident, medical expenses, lost baggage or legal expenses.
Please note: If you have any pre-existing medical condition you would need to contact a health check number on 0818 286 537. Once purchased you also have a fourteen day cooling off period on the travel insurance. The excess with any claims made is currently €90 per claim for premier policies only not for premier plus policies. Please contact GTI Travel on +353 (0)1 843 4734 for more information and a competitive quote at time of booking or at any time prior to departure.
European Health Insurance Card
The European Health Insurance Card (available to all EU citizens) is issued free of charge and allows anyone who is insured by or covered by a statutory social security scheme of the EEA countries to receive medical treatment in another member state in the same way as residents of that state. The intention of the scheme is to allow people to continue their stay in a country without having to return home for medical care. However, it does not cover people who have visited a country for the purpose of obtaining medical care, or non-urgent care that can be delayed until the individual returns to their home country (for example, most dental care). The costs not covered by self-liability fees are paid by the issuing country, which is usually the country of residence, but may also be the country from which the patient receives the most pension.
