Traveling to the EU could be more costly for Britons as a travel expert has explained countries could put in different rules for "entry and exit".
Currently traveling to the EU has not changed and Brits can travel freely. But this could change after 1st January 2021, Expert has claimed. Managing director of Haslemere Travel, Gemma Antrobus, has warned that Britons need to be prepared for extra charges when travelling across Europe.
She said, "Crossing borders is something else that might need to be considered.
"It's just the differences between what different countries require for your entry and exit.
"At the moment, travel is free. You can drive through Europe or rail through Europe without even thinking about it.
"I think with all of this it's just about the consideration behind making your travel plans and ensuring that they're put together properly.
"Otherwise you could find yourself having to do something very last minute that's costly or having to alter your travel arrangement very last minute.
"Some of these things are not 100 percent set in stone yet. They're still being negotiated.
"Crossing borders might be something else you have to take into consideration."
If there is no deal then the UK will become a “third country” meaning British travellers must have a passport with a minimum of six months’ validity.
The UK travellers will not require visas to visit the EU of up to 90 days every 180 days.
The UK government has also stated that, "You should always get appropriate travel insurance with healthcare cover before you go abroad."
The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) will stop being valid if there is no deal between the EU and the UK.
The UK government said, "It’s particularly important you get travel insurance with the right cover if you have a pre-existing medical condition.
"This is because the EHIC scheme covers pre-existing conditions, while many travel insurance policies do not."
