Car Insurance Policy - Are You Ready To Travel?

Are you ready to travel? Do you know what your policy says and covers when you leave the UK for travel abroad? If not, you could be missing some very important details. Did you know that as many as one million people drive their cars abroad not having the slightest idea how much coverage they have, what coverage they have, or if they are even covered at all? That is a lot of people who could be putting themselves and their car at a serious risk.

If your current car insurance policy does not provide coverage for travel abroad, you could be in for some real trouble. For example, if you were to travel to France and get into an accident, you could be looking at charges somewhere around ?1,500. In Denmark or Sweden, if you get into an accident you could be looking at charges of more than ?5,000. That is a lot of money and if your car insurance does not cover travel in your vehicle to these areas, this is money you must pay for out of your own pocket.

It is no big secret that you are required to have car insurance in the UK, by law. However, if your insurance company does not provide you with or you have no paid for car insurance abroad, you may not have the insurance you need, which could lead to some real trouble alone, never mind if you were to get an accident as well.

What you may not know, unless you specifically ask or read your policy fully, is that even if you have fully comp insurance in the UK, if you travel outside of the UK, you may only have third party at that point.

If your chosen insurance company does not provide coverage under your current car insurance policy for travel abroad, then you may want to look into short term insurance, which could last for as little as one day or as many as 21, depending on your needs.
