The Ehic card is a travel document that allows people with disabilities to journey by air, rail, bus and boat within the European Union. Ehic cards are now available in the UK, making it easier for disabled travellers to experience all the benefits that the EU has to offer.
What is an Ehic Card?
An Ehic card is a card that allows you to use the emergency services if you are stranded by road. It is available to people with disabilities, older people, and parents with children under 16.
The new Ehic card comes into force in the UK on 1st October 2016. Anyone who has an Ehic card from another EU country will be able to use it in the UK. The cost of an Ehic card is £5 for adults and £2 for children.
You will need to show your Ehic card when you make a call for help, and the operator will ask if you require assistance. If you are caught out without your Ehic card, you could face a fine of up to £1,000.
If you have any questions about Ehic cards, please contact the Department for Transport on 0845 603 9060 or ehic@dft.gov.uk
How do I get an Ehic Card?
If you are an adult and travelling in the UK with a minor, you will now need an Ehic Card. The Ehic Card is a new card that allows emergency transport in the event of an accident or medical emergency. You can get your Ehic card from any post office, or online at www.ehic.gov.uk. If you have an Ehic Card, you don’t need to carry a separate travel document for your minor.
When travelling with a minor, it’s important to take into account their safety and comfort. Make sure you have enough money available to cover any unexpected costs, and make sure you know where your child is at all times. If something goes wrong, your Ehic card will help to get you and your child to the hospital as quickly as possible.
What are the benefits of having an Ehic Card?
An ehic card is a card that entitles you to free travel on public transport in the UK. If you have an ehic card, you can use it to travel on buses, trains, planes, and ferries. Ehic cards are available to anyone with a qualifying disability. You don’t have to be using the card for travel purposes to have it – it can also be used as a replacement for your passport if lost or stolen.
The main benefits of having an ehic card are that it’s free and it makes travelling around the UK much easier. It can also help if you have a qualifying disability, because many public transport operators offer priority seating or assistance when boarding or getting off buses, trains, and ferries.
If you’re not sure whether you qualify for an ehic card, please contact your local Transport for London (TfL) office.
