    its free to replace/renew them, just make sure you phone them or choose the right website if you do it online, as some sites charge (no idea what for).

    To renew just click on apply. You can then input the EHIC PIN number on the online form - this PIN number is on your existing EHIC card

    slightly tongue in cheek - but it's for knowing where to apply:D

    Bet you 10 to 1 that you will get your cards and within weeks will find your old ones.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Been there, done that
