Just booked a holiday? Use our handy checklist to make sure your holiday goes smoothly…
Is your passport in date?
Check that everyone’s Passport has at least six months left before it expires and take copies of them all in case one gets lost. We offer the Post Office Digital Check & Send service for just £16, to quickly and securely renew your passport. Application forms are also available in branch and you can use our Photo Kiosk to renew your passport photo for just £9.
Holiday booked, get insured.
Taking out travel insurance when you book your holiday will not cost you a penny more, yet as long as you’ve ensured cancellation is included, you’ll be protected from the minute you’ve bought it. We can issue a Travel Insurance policy in branch for either a single trip or annual cover. If travelling within the EU the GHIC (UK Global Health Insurance Card) entitles you to free or discounted state health care in all European Union countries, but isn’t a replacement for good travel insurance. Apply for your GHIC now.
Planning to drive abroad?
You may need a International Driving Permit. We can issue these in branch, just bring along your valid photo-card licence and a recent passport sized photo of yourself. They cost £5.50. The UK Government website offers advice on International Driving Permits and the implications of Brexit.
