Money Saving Expert Martin Lewis has stressed the urgent need for travelers to secure their travel insurance ASAP once they book a trip. During his ITV show, he explained that insurance covers not only incidents during the trip but also potential cancellations beforehand. Lewis recounted real-life scenarios where travelers lost money due to lack of insurance. He also reiterated the importance of checking health cards like the EHIC or GHIC for those traveling to the EU, highlighting that many cards are expiring soon.
Martin Lewis emphasized the importance of travel insurance by stating, 'You should get your travel insurance ASAB as soon as you book.' He highlighted that this protects against potential cancellations before travel.
Lewis warned that many travelers wait too long, which can lead to significant financial loss. He recounted scenarios where people realize too late they have no insurance, leading to difficult situations.
He further advised, 'If you are going to the EU ensure you get a valid EHIC or GHIC. What these do is they entitle you to treatment in a state-run hospital or GPs at the same price as a local.'
