Car Insurance

[suzi]

Hi I am looking for help quickly! I posted a thread recently looking for a car and thanks for your replies, I am going out next week and am hoping to buy a car, I had in mind a medium sized estate type car or a citroen berlingo van type car and just checked with linea directa about insurance today, I had been told I would get insurance for about E300, however for a Peugeot Partner 1900cc car the insurance is E560, for a Ford Focus 1600cc the cost is 470, I am shocked at the high cost and am now rethinking my decision to buy, I have a full no claims bonus and have a full licence for well over 20 years. Has anyone any ideas about where to go for insurance or should I look at a much smaller car.

First: If you get a better quote from another company, like for like of course, Linea Directa will usually match it.
Second: I had my car stolen a week ago, found the next day and a write off. Linea Directa have been brilliant, even speaking on the phone to non English speakers on my behalf when I needed help with all the formalities. Yesterday, day 6, after I had faxed them the documents from the scrap yard about officially scrapping the car, they phoned me with an offer which I accepted and which they say will be in my bank account next week.
Some times it's worth paying a little more for when things go wrong.

It is'nt a case of more expensive,or even how many years no claims you has, because it is the car which is insured not you.
So all insurance in Spain is more expensive than the UK as if you can't drive your car it has to be lifted on a flat bed and taken to your chosen Garage, so included in the price is this service, unlike the UK when you pay separately for breakdown cover
I would look for a smaller car if you only want a run around for when you are here in Spain will turn out cheaper fro you

Hi Gal, if that is the case should I just go for third party fire and theft?

Not true. The car I had stolen was 3rd party, fire and theft, I could have had just 3rd party, however 3rd P/F/T is not a lot cheaper than fully comp.
Some companies will only do fully comp, check around.

Choose the best company for auto insurance for your vehicles. Check many sites on net and compare all of them as I also did the same and took the policy from online-autoinsurance.net.

Hassun, just checked that website and it seems to be an american insurance company?

[Hassun]

Ya suzi its an american company.

[GAL]

An American company is about as much use as a UK company here in Spain, also 3rd party is only allowed on cars over a certain age

[trisela]

you can go for the third party insurance.

I needed my Mondeo insured so I researched quite thoroughly. The best for me was Easy Insure (Torrevieja and La Zenia). I got 3rd Party, Fire and Theft plus the usuals; breakdown, windscreen and EU travel for 249€. The next best was Linea Direct. But they were 308€. Good luck with it.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
But I thought that car insurance in Spain was full com. for the first three years and then third party. No choice!

And only Spanish registered cars can be insured in Spain!
