If i buy a car in england and drive it over to spain can i still have english insurance?
If you are driving to Spain from England make sure your insurance company has issued you with a green card. In the UK these green cards are sometimes limited to 30 or 45 days only abroad.
If you have a UK car you must insure with an English car insurance company. You are allowed to use a Spanish brance of a UK insurance company but it must be a registered UK insurance company. Likewise a Spanish car must be insured by a Spanish car Insurance company.
Car Insurance Spain
Car Insurance Spain is becoming more competitive now new companies are entering the marketplace. I am with Linea Directa and they have just called me ” to go through some details” as my car insurance is due shortly. I haven’t received my renewal notice yet and really what they wanted was for me to pay now before I have had a chance to get any competitive quotes. Last year I did just that, went back to Linea Direct and I saved a lot of money.
Just by looking at Abbeygate Insurance they are offering 10% off any car insurance quote that you have. Axa insurance are offering 30 euros off the quote online. So it is worth getting some other quotes and then going back to your original company if you are happy with them and seeing if they will match it.
If not, go elsewhere…..much easier by the way if your car insurance is NOT on direct debit…..
