Almost a third (32%) of those questioned were unaware of the age they’ll receive it.

The average list price of a new petrol car has soared from £27,036 to £45,218 – a 67% rise – over the past 10 years. Calculations by Auto Express show that the price of a new petrol car has risen at more than 20 times the rate of inflation. The car magazine worked out that if a new petrol car had risen at the rate of CPI inflation (an average of 3.3% per year) it would cost £36,225 now – almost £9,000 less. It’s not just petrol cars that have gone up in price.

GHICs replaced the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) after Brexit.
