if i was thinking of driving over to ibiza in april to stay til october

can anyone tell me if we would need to do anything extra with insurance and stuff to beable to legally drive the car to and around ibiza?? or do we just need fully comp insurance

i know we can probably find this out from the insurance compny but we never seem to get a straight answer from them

all help will be appreciated

cheers guys :)
 
maybe but if you add up two return flights and four lots of excess baggage i reckon it wont be that different in price

thanks for your help though ;)

this way we get to see every bit of the island we want when we want
 
we're weren't really bothered about the cost

we think itll be an adventure and that we we'll advantage from it while we're staying on the island

plus we can take AS MUCH STUFF as we can fit in the car!!!!!!! and believe me that will be a hell of a lot of stuff.

just need to find out if theres anything we need to do, hopefully aslong as we're both fully comp, insured for any driver we should be okay, what do you reckon ???

doh never realised that. :lol:

it was a joke anyway, any fool that follows a set of direction on such a lon journey without checking deserves to get lost. :eek: :eek:
 
You really will have to check how much cover you have outside the UK, because you may well find that the policy is rather less than comprehensive outside the UK. Your insurance company will supply you with a "Green Card" or it may even be printed on the back of your policy. This doesn't give you insurance nor is it a legal requirement, but it's worth having because it shows the cops or whoever that you do have minimum cover in that country. (Most countries in Europe are signatories to the "Green Card" treaty.)
 
Some insurance companies will cover you comprehensively for a maximum of 90 days whilst in the EU. If you are planning to stay longer then 6 months you will need to get special cover on your policy called Foreign Use Extension. Some companies will only cover you TPFT or TPO in foreign countries but most should cover you comprehensively. You will, without a doubt have to call them to put this on your policy, and make sure that if your insurance is due for renewal while your away that is put on automatic renewal so it doesn't run out! If you have any questions I can answer them, unfortunately I work for an Insurance Company!
