Insurance Russia/EU
Discussion
Hi guys!
I drove across Europe to Russia in Oct. last year in my little Mazda - great journey btw
!
My UK insurance has expired now and due to Russian customs laws / visa requirements I am required to leave Russia and then return later. For this I need insurance that is valid in the EU.
Russian insurance companies will not insure foreign registered cars.
I am planning to drive to Vilnius and leave my car there for a while and fly to the UK and then drive back to Russia (06/04 to 22/04).
There are short term insurance options (cheapest will cost about £88 for four days then another £88 for the return journey) - more than the plane tickets to the UK!!
I could buy an annual normal insurance for the UK, but I intend to drive back to Russia/outside the EU and I would not be returning the EU until about Sep/Aug time, so in effect I would 'waste' approximately 5 months of quite expensive insurance.
What do you think the best option is here?
Is it possible to get insurance on a UK registered car in another EU state (which I don't live in)?
Therefore giving me third part cover for the entire EU, well basically a short term cover for Lithuania tbh as that is where my car will be parked.
Cheers!
