Many motorists are now opting to have their own vehicle overseas with them to drive around in a place like France. One thing they must obtain before taking their automobile overseas is international car cover. If you are thinking about driving in Europe or elsewhere and you do not have such insurance cover, then you may find a large bill awaiting your arrival.
1. When purchasing International car-insurance, you should be wary that you are also covered for collision. This ensures that the other driver and yourself will benefit from compensation if you were in an accident.
2. It should also be sufficient for European breakdown cover via the policy; it is an essential element of the insurance. If you do not have breakdown cover when overseas, it could cost much more than money.
3. A local mechanic may be able to help, but could end up costing quite a bit, also take into consideration the issue and cost of getting the car back to America, if your car happens to breakdown and is not covered for repairs.
4. The only country in Europe where you can not get the roadside assistance is in France. In this instance, police will have to be notified to come and assist you.
5. Get your auto-cover before traveling; you will see that it is much cheaper to buy from suppliers online or in your home country as opposed to delaying the purchase until you travel abroad.
If you follow these guidelines you will be well on you way to saving money on car insurance when abroad.
