Talk Quesada forum

Hi All,

Preparing for our permanent move to Quesada and as we will be hoping to have a car was looking to find out what insurance is like in Spain.

Would only be purchasing a small car e.g Dacia Sandero Stepway and would probably purchase from new around 12000E. I believe insurance is based on the car not the driver.

Any advice appreciated on costs to budget for.

Thanks

I've just insured a UK reg'd car and had quotes from several insurers and they were all around the same. I took out fully comprehensive and breakdown roadside cover is included as it's a legal requirement to have it in Spain. The cost was 340 Euros and we will get a payment back into our account of 50. So just under 300. I understand that when it's on Spanish plates it will be even cheaper. You're right about it being the car rather than the driver. Ours is any driver over 25. As a friend said the worry is that should your car get stolen, even the thief is covered!!!

Breakdown cover is not a Legal requirement in Spain but most insurance companies include it

Hi it is the car but they tend to be cheaper with smaller engines haveing said that around 350 euros seems to cover a 2L engine Liberty Seguros have a good cover the office is opposite the Bells restaurant.

Thanks for your prompt replies

If you buy a car from a Garage they will insure if for you so you can drive it straight away. They can often get you a good price as well.
