Mander Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hi all..My husband and I will be house sitting just near Chatellerault next March to November. We are planning on buying a Car in Paris (just a little diesel) and we can't find any information on how to obtain insurance while we are there.Anyone know if they will give insurance to a couple of canadians temporarily letting there? And if so...how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Driver Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 If you intend buying a car, then you will first need to register it in your name, and for this, you'll need to provide proof of a French address. There are specific provisions for people who are 'living with friends' - you need to provide a letter from the homeowner certifying 'on honour' that you are living in their house and you need to provide official proof that you live there, eg, tax advice, social security card, family allowance, ANPE registration, etc.I suspect that in your case, the latter requirement will be difficult to meet.To insure the car, you need to produce the registration document (carte grise)...

Mpprh Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Just to add that you can transfer NCB from other countries.You need a certificate from your foreign insurer stating NCB in years (not %). AS French NCB can go over 10 yrs before reaching the maximum, you need as many years as possible.Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mander Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Would a Utilities Bill or a receipt from the "Landlord" work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Driver Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 A person renting a property can prove residence by way of an official landlord's rent receipt or a utilities bill. The utilities bill would have to be in the name of the tenant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannon Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 What about taking out a lease or exended rental on a car. Your existing drivers licence would suffice (mine did anyway) and the leasing/rental company would have the cars paperwork. Just a thought.
