Travel insurance (medical costs) when traveling from UK to Spain (Fuerteventura)

score:4

Accepted answer

Entitlements under EHIC, such as ordinary and emergency treatments at public hospitals (including for Covid), are not affected; for UK, that is until at earliest December 31, 2020. After the date, EHICs issued by UK become invalid with some exceptions (e.g. current pensioners and students in EU).

For things EHIC doesn't cover, like private treatments, rescuing and repatriation, there are still companies offering limited coverage.

For example, staysure offers an European FCO Travel Advice Extension (but not covering Coronavirus-related claims): https://www.staysure.co.uk/fco-advice-travel-insurance/.

Avanti: https://www.avantitravelinsurance.co.uk/fco-advice-travel-insurance

Battleface: https://www.battleface.com/ which claims to cover Covid-related medical expenses as well.

But of course small prints may apply and you should check details of the policy offers to see if they suit you.
