It's not a legal requirement to have travel insurance in order to travel to Spain, but it's highly recommended for several reasons:

• Access to healthcare abroad: while the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) gives you access to state-provided healthcare, it doesn't cover private medical healthcare costs, repatriation, or additional costs such as mountain rescue. If you have a medical emergency abroad, medical treatment may be quite expensive without insurance.
• Car rental protection: if you have an accident with a rented car, insurance can help cover excess, deductible, or damage liability fees.
• Flight protection: if your flight is cancelled or delayed, insurance can cover some of the costs associated with accommodation, transportation, or meals.
• Lost luggage protection: insurance can help cover expenses if your baggage is lost or stolen.
• Additional perks: it's not just about damage control — travel insurance often gives you access to extras that make your trip more enjoyable. For example, with Revolut's Ultra plan, you get unlimited access to 1,000+ airport lounges, so you can relax while you're waiting to board your next flight.

The type of travel insurance you need depends entirely on your holiday plans. Hitting the road in a rental car? Consider car hire insurance. Trying your hand at skiing? Winter sports protection is what you need. We've thought ahead for you and planned for anything that may come your way. When you sign up for Metal or Ultra, you'll get comprehensive travel insurance that'll have you covered if:

• you have a medical emergency
• your flight is delayed
• your luggage is lost or delayed
• your rental car is damaged
• your passport or visa is lost or stolen

To be eligible for travel insurance with Revolut, you need to:

• be a Metal or Ultra customer
• book your trip through your Revolut account
• be a resident of the UK or the EEA (excluding Gibraltar and Switzerland)
• be at least 18 years old and no more than 75
• have your primary residence as your address in your Revolut account
• book a trip that's eligible for cover

With our travel insurance, you'll be covered for personal trips anywhere outside your home country, as long as you follow travel guidelines provided by your country's government. Check the official government website before travelling abroad. You may not be covered for trips to areas where the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has advised against travel. You're also covered for personal domestic trips at least 100km away from your primary residence. In this case, coverage only includes delays, cancellations, and lost or stolen baggage. You're covered for business trips as well. Check out our Help Centre for more info on trips covered by our insurance.

Your travel Insurance policy is activated the moment you sign up for (or upgrade your plan to) Metal or Ultra. Read more about travel insurance activation in our Help Centre.

With Revolut, travel insurance is included when you sign up for Metal or Ultra — at no extra cost. Check out our Metal and Ultra paid plans.

With our travel insurance, you're covered for COVID-19 medical treatment, transportation, repatriation, and missed flights with additional accommodation. Cover applies if:
