"Drivers are paying to have top level cover in the UK and mistakenly believe that they will automatically enjoy the same protection while driving abroad,” said Mark Monteiro, uSwitch.com insurance expert.
Monteiro added that motorists must contact their insurer to upgrade their policy before driving overseas.
Drivers “should always check the policy small print, make sure they are aware of any restrictive clauses in their policy, such as the number of consecutive days a car can be driven abroad before the driver must return to the UK, and absolutely always contact their insurer before going,” Monteiro said"
Whenever you go abroad you should always check that you have adequate cover for both you and your family as well as your car. You should never just assume that your insurance cover will remain the same out of the country so make sure that you give your insurance company a ring before you go so you know exactly where you stand.
