Temporary insurance on a Spanish car

1POSTS

8 years ago

Hi,

My name is Sophie. I鈥檓 travelling to Almeria for a week to visit my grandparents who live out there. I don鈥檛 want to hire a car, as I鈥檓 not quite 25 yet it鈥檒l be far too expensive. My grandparents have an English car out there, which they鈥檝e put Spanish plates on. It鈥檚 very easy to get temp car insurance on English cars, but I鈥檓 struggling massively to find anywhere that does temporary insurance on cars with Spanish plates.

Does anyone have any advice on how I will be able to achieve this? I really will need the use of a car whilst I鈥檓 visiting.

Thank you in advance!

Are you sure that their existing policy doesn't already cover you?聽 If not, why not ask your grandparents to add you to there policy for the week you are there; probably be the cheapest method.

It's usually the car that is covered by the insurance rather than the driver but I vaguely remember that one of the standard declarations is that all the drivers will be over 26. So, as Cynic says, the best route is almost certainly through the existing insurance maybe with the need for an additional name.
