Doctor’s visits and other medical costs are something we hope won’t be a part of your holiday and, as such, we haven’t included them in our average day totals.

You can also apply for a free EHIC if you’re travelling around the EU, and this can help to subsidise any medical costs that may arise during your travels.<hr /><h2>Cheapest and most expensive taxi prices around the world in 2021</h2>
