Driving in mainland Europe (insurance)

When you guys go into mainland europe do you let your insurance companies know and increase your car insurance. Mine covers me for third party... i'm thinking I should increase cover to fully comp

what do you think????

 

I'm with Elephant and I automatically get 30 days European cover fully comp.

I got a green card from my insurance company for 11 for the trip.

They don't normally issue them to under 25's.... but i got it

 

me too

 

I usually get a green card (about 40 with privelige) but someone was saying it's not compulsory now...

 

thats right... its not compulsory , but i wanted it as it has greater cover!

 

I get 3months with HIC in total for the year. But i have to phone them up and let them know i am going. Its 3rd party only that i have tho ..

 

I have comp Elephant cover on the A3 and thought it was more than 30 days? You don't have to tell them you've gone either so not sure how they can tell? I've already been abroad for at least 20 days this year....

Love driving abroad! Have managed France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and Italy so far this year.

 

I'm with Admiral so I've sort out a Green Card... better safe than sorry!

Very true. With some insurers you only have TPO cover unless you get a green card, but with others the Euro cover is thrown in, usually with some limit on the number of days per trip.

 

Any idea what European cover Brentacre provide as standard on their policies? I'll have to give them a call or find my documents...
