Car Insurance Abroad

Going on holiday? Looking for car insurance whilst abroad?

Using your car insurance abroad, whether you’re in Europe, Ireland, Wales, Scotland or the mainland, generally reduces your UK policy down to the minimum level legally required in that country; despite this you should still check with your insurer before departing that the minimum level of cover is sufficient for your destination.

Car insurance that offers less coverage when you are abroad isn’t likely to insure you for damage, theft or liability, and this is where a fully comprehensive policy can be advantageous; this policy type usually extends your full protection to encompass Europe as well as the UK.

Once you have your car insurance policy in order for your trip abroad, your insurer will issue you with a green card, this is proof that you are insured for your destination country, and is internationally recognised.
