Anyone have a good company offering comprehensive insurance in France as opposed to legal requirements ?

If you're over 55 then SAGA will give you 365 days per year. LV will give you 185. After that the sheds are no good. There are some specialists that can help. 2017 5.0 Autobiography Supercharged

I just asked my existing company (DirectLine) to extend my extend my existing cover to fully comp for France. They provided the minimum cover as part of the policy. Think it cost just over £30

I've been with SAGA for a few years now for exactly the reasons above - 365 day cover for Europe.

Waze on my phone has been good for speed cameras - and is free

Prior to that I used to load them to the RR Nav as POI's - but that cost money and wasn't as ups to date a s Waze.

Enjoy your trip - I'm headed back the week after next

Isn’t it always comprehensive????  Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits. Emissions Analytics worked with........etc etc

He who dies with the most toys wins...

No - some companies only provide third party as standard. Usually when bundled and 'free' as part of a policy rather than specifically selected and paid for, but even then.....

They may use terms like legal minimum insurance - but that means the same as it does in the UK - third party only - not even theft.

All companies are different in what they will even cover at a charge - they have different maximum trip durations etc.

I had 1 claim with SAGA when hit by a loon in Corfu, who felt my side of the road was preferable to his.
I had to fight over value, it was written off, but was paid quite quickly once a value was agreed. 2017 5.0 Autobiography Supercharged

Interestingly I had a reply from Admiral saying my cover was fully comprehensive in France and was covered for 90 days but could be increased by another 12 weeks with no extra charge. Even although their policy doc states minimum cover. So worth checking

Sandy,
Check those Admiral numbers. Often the sheds quote 90 days per anumn but only 30 days at any 1 stretch. 2017 5.0 Autobiography Supercharged

Good point although my renewal is due next Feb and we won't be over for more that 3 weeks at a time this year - we are still looking well to be precise Mrs T is still looking I thought we had looked but apparently not

Have you still not bought a place ?
