|
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. Rosetta Stone offers software-based courses from £159.
|
|
|
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.
