le rouge Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have recently had a renewal notice from my car insurance providers (Churchill) stating that the Green Card now only offers Third Party cover in the EU and if I want comprehensive cover I have to pay extra. When I rang them they said that a 2 week trip to France, for example, would be £18. This is OK for a 'one off' but as a frequent traveller it mounts up.Has anyone got experience of this? Are all companies adopting this policy? Do any of the insurance companies offer a year's cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hiecarinsurance.co.uk offer 12 months as standard in their policies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex H Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I have comprehensive with Liverpool Victoria - 180 days foreign EU use in any year - no extra charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le rouge Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 And are these definitely Fully Comprehensive because I thought I had that but when I read the policy document it said it was Third Party cover only for EU even though my policy is Comprehensive? I wondered if all companies are the same but will try the 2 suggested. Thanks.Sorry Tandem - just realised you said 'comprehensive' in your text.

le rouge Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Wish I knew about M & S as I have already got RAC UK and European cover. Should have done my research I suppose. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marym2 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I am with Lloyds Tsb, I had taken out a policy which if I had an accident this year I would be fully covered, and boy am I glad I did, ( Ialso had the AA five star policy) In March I wrote off my vechile after skidding on cow poooo and ending up in a ditch. I was given a car for 3 weeks and then on my return had a people carrier, I got paid most of the market value for my car, and bought another which when I told my insurance people they contuined the policy and gave me a refund!

suein56 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 [quote user="Pierre ZFP"]I expect there are lots of others too[/quote]We used to use Cornhill Direct they were fully comp for up to 6 months usage per year - excellent premium rates too.Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
le rouge Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 I tried M & S which included RAC European Breakdown and Green Card but the quote was £110 more than my exisiting quote so I suppose you pay for it one way or another. I will still try one or two others before I give up!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
