Car Insurance

Hi Marie 

That cost seems outrageous, you should really try somewhere like Linea direct I'm sure it would be a lot cheaper

Good luck

That is a ridiculously high cost, unless it's a 16 year old Rolls Royce :)

Will you be here before it needs to be scrapped? Personally I'd leave it as long as possible as your insurance is in place and the suma has been paid.

Not sure depends on the pandemic but it looks like it may be worth moving the insurance not sure how I can do this from UK it’s so hard to do anything but need to start early otherwise come September we will be back at €990 again it’s a good running car I’ve had it since new and it passed it’s MOT in November without any issues my garage went and got it from my house and put it back when it passed it’s a Seat people seem to think it’s because it’s so old and people don’t keep cars that long in Spain

We had an old car we only paid €250 a year got insurance from lovely girls in ex Pat's office la marina urb family came out used car for 5 years then it died on us but we give it to our mechanic he had spent do much time trying to fix it and it was going to cost too much he said we didn't owe him because he didn't get it repaired so that was our way of dealing with it 

Hi Marie,

I'd recommend getting a quote from Liberty Seguros.  We have our cars insured with them and have had to claim on both policies with no issues.  

As you're in the UK, you could phone a local agent and get them to sort this out for you.  I don't know any agents in Torrevieja, but would recommend an agent in Ciudad Quesada:

Thanks I will try them x

From what I've read it's not the norm to change insurance companies mid policy in Spain, in fact a lot of Spanish seem to leave the car insurance in place when selling a car and just start a new policy when they buy a new car. 

Yeah not gonna move mid year but will get organised for a new company in Sep
