EHIC

European Health Insurance Cards (EHICs) issued in the UK will no longer feature the European symbol. But don't worry, they will still be accepted in participating countries until at least the end of 2020. 

More than 10,000 British travellers a year are having to apply for emergency documentation to access medical care in Europe because they don't have a valid EHIC, figures obtained by MoneySavingExpert reveal.

A council has taken down an advert for a 'shyster' site - which charges customers £35 to submit an otherwise free EHIC application - after MoneySavingExpert.com contacted it.

Almost three million people let their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) run out in 2017, MoneySavingExpert.com can reveal - and in total almost nine million cards have expired since the end of 2014. If you're due to travel in other European countries, check now if yours is still in date.

A company which charges £34.50 to 'process' free EHIC cards has been rapped for wrongly implying it was the official NHS site.

Travellers are unable to apply for EHIC cards as the website has crashed, but don't be tempted to go via a shyster site.

Travellers have been unable to apply for or renew their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) after a technical fault caused the online and telephone application systems to crash. However, MoneySavingExpert.com understands the issue is not related to the recent referendum result.

The holidays are over, the schools are back. But if you've recently returned, some simple checks could save you £100s. Here's my post-holiday checklist (and if you've got the back-to-work blues, some will help you next year too).
