 Poster: A snowHead
|
I know this has been asked before, but there seems to be little recent information on this (that I can find anyway!)
Will be working the season in France, taking our car for around five months. Current insurer is Admiral, and while they will cover it, it is an awful lot of faff - Apparently I am covered for 30 days, then if I phone them it can be extended for another 30 days for free, then I have to phone them to get covered for another 30 days for free. This takes me to the end of February. After that I have to phone them every week to get it extended, and pay £19.50 each time, and can do this for a maximum of 12 weeks. I really don't want this level of hassle so m looking elsewhere.
I have asked Stuart Collins for a quote, but does anyone have up to date info on anyone else who might cover us (I am over 50, but other drivers needed on the policy are younger).

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

I got mine through Asda, underwriters are Covea. Previously used LV too.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@RobinS, Saga is the best I could find 365/365.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks for responses - LV slightly cheaper than Stuart Collins so far, but only gives 180 days abroad, as opposed to Stuart Collins 365. I'll have a look at Saga as well, but they may be a non starter as I want my daughter on the policy.

You'll need to Register first of course.

@RobinS, Saga will cover you if over 55 so I don't think at 50 you would qualify. However if they do cover you having younger drivers on the policy isn't a problem. I've been with them now for 10 years and have had my son & partner on the policy most of that time. Both are now in their 40's, and it actually reduces the cost! Bonus!

I think the LV 180 days is maximum trip length, not total time abroad but check the small print?

You do know you're already covered third-party-only by all policies throughout EU? Theft of rhd cars on the continent is non-existant and few burst into flames. Just don't crash.
