My family's heltah cards were up for renewal and queuing in the post office for hours they directed me to the website, saying they no longer renewed them over the counter. Like some of you I first went onto the ehic website which charges and smelt a rat. Apparently search engines take you to this site which is not illegal and the post office is powerless to act. That said I can totally recommend renewing over the phone it is quick and simple and doesn't require pushing hundreds of buttons simply call 0845 605 0707 have your EHIC card with you as it will ask you your PIN number. It took less than three minutes and they send within a week.
