| 1. Passport?
|
Yes,
you do need your passport to travel to Corsica, even though Britain and France
are both members of the European Union
|
|
| 2. Medication?
|
If
you take regular medication, take enough for your stay. Consider taking a supply of your preferred
headache and seasickness remedies
|
|
| 3. Driving licence?
|
You
will need your driving licence if you intend to hire a car. Your car hire provider will advise you on
any other requirements (e.g. age limits)
|
|
| 4. Euros?
|
You
can use most debit cards in Corsica, but do consider buying a few euros
before you leave - for immediate expenses when you arrive
|
|
| 5.
Credit Cards?
|
Take
your credit cards. Not all restaurants accept them, but using them when you
can will help you spread the cost of your holiday
|
|
| 6. Taxi
to the airport?
|
Don’t
underestimate the time it can take you to get to the airport – especially if
your flight is in the early hours of the morning!
|
|
| 7. Airport parking?
|
If
you are leaving your car at the airport, it’s cheaper to book it in
advance. A bit of foresight could save
you quite a bit of holiday cash!
|
 |
| 8. Pre-flight hotel?
|
If
you have an early start (or a late arrival) and a long drive in Corsica when
you land, consider staying in a UK
hotel on departure or return
|
|
| 9. Flight/ferry tickets?
|
Just
make sure you take them! If you are
travelling on a “no-ticket” airline, make sure you have a note of the
appropriate reference number
|
|
| 10. Travel insurance?
|
Make
sure you are fully covered for loss or damage to your baggage, and for any
medical expenses. Consider buying an
annual policy
|
|
| 11. Accommodation voucher?
|
If
you have booked accommodation via our site or through a travel agent, make
sure you take the confirmation slip or reference number
|
|
| 12. Camera?
|
Take
a camera so you can remember some of Corsica’s spectacular scenery. This may be the time to think about
switching to digital…
|
 |
| 13. Innoculation?
|
No
innoculations are necessary for most British citizens travelling to Corsica,
but see “Medication” suggestion above. See your doctor for confirmation.
|
|
| 14. Mobile phone?
|
Your
mobile phone may not work outside the UK. Even
if it does, expect the call charges to rocket while
you're away. Why not buy a SIM4Travel card ?
|
|
| 15. Holiday reading?
|
Why
not buy a book about Corsica to read while you are there – and get the latest
book from your favourite novelist while you are online!
|
 |
| 16. Pets?
|
If
you haven’t got a pet passport, you will need to consider boarding kennels if
there’s nobody at home while you’re away
|
|
| 17. French language course?
|
If
you never learnt French, or if your French is a bit rusty, you should
consider taking a French language course before you go
|
|
| 18. French dictionary?
|
Even
if you speak French well, remember that languages evolve – maybe it’s time to
buy a new French dictionary to use while you are there
|
|
| 19. Shopping?
|
Why not do your week’s shopping for the day you come home – now? Tesco will accept an on-line order up to
three weeks ahead!
|
|
|
20. Birthdays?
|
Don't forget that
important birthday or anniversary taking place while
you're away! Amazon has a great selection of gifts
- and will gift-wrap & deliver the presents you
choose.
