The Post Office Reminds Travellers To The Channel Islands ToPurchase...

The end of a mutual agreement between UK and Channel Islands health authorities has underlined the need for UK holidaymakers to secure travel insurance (http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/content1catId=63300708's38;mediaId=89500762) before visiting the Islands.

Earlier this year, it was announced that UK visitors to the Channel Islands need to pay for all medical treatments if they become ill and do not have travel insurance (http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/content1catId=63300708's38;mediaId=89500762) cover. This follows the end of an agreement allowing some free medical treatments for UK-based visitors to the Channel Islands, whether travelling with or without travel insurance.

Whilst UK mainland visitors to the Islands have always had to cover some medical costs for health services, including GP treatment, dental care and prescribed medicines in Jersey, under the new rules all medical costs are the visitor'ss responsibility, making travel insurance crucial.

As this was a reciprocal agreement, islanders visiting the UK are also encouraged to take out travel insurance. Post Office Travel Insurance reiterates that travel insurance is an essential part of any trip.

With the rise of the staycation and increasing interest in holidays within the UK, it is more important than ever for UK travellers to ensure they have adequate travel insurance cover when travelling to and from the Channel Islands.
