Renewed mine yesterday and guess what, it cost a tenner. Another bloody tax. They don't miss a trick.

Apparently you used the wrong site. Anyone needing to obtain or renew should use the NHS link given by Tony (mister psycho) above - it's free. |

Don't forget your travel insurance when you come over though as the state only pays 60 to 70% of costs here so you have to stump up the rest - even with an EHIC.

Yes the link does go to the NHS Page where there is a link to renew for FREE
Cheers folks

My oldest got caught by one of these agency sites when he booked the theory part of his driving test, paid about £15 over the odds. Cheap for a lesson in life! But why do government agencies allow other websites to do this? They are surporting a scam.  |

Don't use them it will cost you a tenner. http://www.euhealthcard.org/If I had read the statement at the bottom of their page I would have used an official site  |
