I'm currently insured through a company called Prestige who unfortunately only cover addresses in Northern Ireland.

I'm now going to be working out of Aachen in Germany for an indefinite period but will still have a home here inside the UK back in Scotland, and as such I'm trying to find an insurance company inside the UK who can accomodate my needs for euro travel.

At the moment the cover I have from Prestige gives me up to 90 days travel anywhere inside the EU, and from the searches I've done on the net and over the phone in the last week I'm finding that 90 days seems to be the most any of the mainstream companies can offer as far as EU use.

I know you're probably sitting there and wondering why I don't just insure it in Germany, it's another option, but right now the car is still UK registered etc and for all intents and purposes I am still based in Scotland and paid here, but with the nature of my field service job I can be thrown anywhere in the world within a very short notice period, so having flexible or unlimited EU travel would be my preferred option.

Just wondering if it's something that's cropped up before with someone else and there's a possibility of an easy answer out there frown

The current policy expires on the 18th of September, but the car heads to Germany with me on Wednesday after a spot of work in Cambridge tomorrow...
