I'm taking the Eunos across to Europe for just under a couple of months shortly. I only have it insured TPF&T for the UK but would prefer to upgrade to fully comp. cover whilst I am abroad. Is there any way I can achieve this? My current insurer will only give me the option of starting a new 12 month policy on a fully comp basis.

Highly likely that all will have the same view. Too many people upgraded when it was allowed then amazingly had a claim for some major damage to their vehicle within a few days.

I was with Aviva when I took the Audi to Kosovo. They were really good, made sure I was covered, gave a good price to upgrade to Comp, also got me a Green Card for Macedonia and Serbia. They couldn't get me cover in Albania, Montenegro or Kosovo, had to get that at the border.

I was massively impressed with Aviva, they got in touch a few times and didn't just come back with standard 'No' answers.

Won't help if you're not with Aviva, but if you have to get a new policy, worth considering.

Separate policy like the RAC? Probably not cost effective for a couple of months.
