Underinsured Motoring Abroad
Brits underinsured when motoring abroad 24 June 2005 Around 7.8 million* motorists cross the channel each year, but they should not assume that they have the same level of insurance cover as when driving in the UK. Churchill car insurance is warning motorists to check their policy to ensure that they don’t end up underinsured and having to pay a bill that’s bigger than the cost of their holiday. All insurers are required to cover third party cover for travel abroad at no extra cost, but this will not cover any damage or loss to the driver’s own vehicle or possessions. Many insurers offer a very limited number of free days of comprehensive cover to drive on the continent or none at all. Churchill car insurance policyholders do not need to notify their insurer that they are driving in Europe, as they are automatically covered to drive at the same level as in the UK for up to 90 days at a time.
