Car Insurance

Post by shanagarry »

Can anybody suggest how I can get comprehensive car insurance cover for 4 months for my UK registered car in Portugal?

I have asked my UK insurer and they will only provide cover for up to 120 days per annum - in periods of 30 days.

Medal, my Portuguese insurance broker will only insure a car that has been through the matriculation process.

There are brokers out here that do 12 month green cards through an insurance company in Gibraltar. You can cancel after having it less than a year and get some sort of a refund but I don't know how much. My brokers do this if you'd like their info. I can send by pm/email.

Try the AA insurance services.

I have an AXA policy through them for using a UK registered car in Belgium and have a 12 month green card. It costs approx. double the amount of a normal UK policy.

Dear Guest

Saga is the answer - got a quote this morning and cover in place immediately at a price cheaper than my normal UK insurer - amazing!

Thank you for the lead.
