Car insurance

If you have a righthand drive car with UK plates and have had difficulty finding an insurer here in France, you need look no further! We are in France able to offer:

- cover for foreign-registered cars up to one year, which gives you one year to import your car
- a solution in case of non-conformity or refusal from the DRIRE.
We also provide the following as standard for your motor insurance in France:
- English translations of general conditions
- accident forms in English
- à la carte insurance - theft, fire, third-party or comprehensive cover
- family fleet policies, combining multiple vehicles under one policy
- policies without an excess (by special arrangement)
- Green Flag/RAC special assistance in 42 countries with/without the car – this means that even if the car is at home and you and your family are abroad, via another means of transport, the family are still covered. It's like a travel insurance policy for all the immediate family! You can also choose to take the replacement vehicle option.

Contact us for more details.

Actually, despite the fact that we can provide all of the above, we'd question why you'd use a foreign-registered car here in France. It's well-known that buying a car in France is easier than doing so in the UK for example. A UK policy will be valid here, yes, but you might be paying extra for a short-term green card. And having a right-hand drive car in a left-hand drive country? It can be argued that you are not as safe as you would otherwise be ... and does your front-seat passenger really like being propelled towards oncoming traffic whenever you overtake? Probably not!

That, of course, is your decision. So whilst you're taking it, let's say something about the legendary "Constat Amiable d'Accident Automobile", that loveable little form that European insurance requires you to keep in your glove box ...

You're probably aware that these forms are available in English. UK insurers issue them to you with your green card. Well, you can complete these in English - even if your car is French-registered - and you can submit them to us (in English) if ever you need to make a claim through us. That's all legal and acceptable.

And there's more, too...

We have some clear and important advice for how you fill in these little beauties. See the 'Who's liable?' page or email us for more detailed information.
