Insurance from the continent
« on: 21 October 2009, 20:48 »
I have an uncle in Netherlands (native born) and family in Poland that are completely legit living/born in respective countries. Could I just register+insure my car on a foreign policy (sounds  funnily political haha) so that all the greedy companies can pi$$ off? (in continental Europe every insurance is just for the car, not drivers. so one can drive any car that is insured whether they are 17 or 52 @ the same price)

Or say if I wanted my GTI to be so cultstyle and have a glorious Deutsch registration plate from Wolfsburg, huh?

What would be the steps of doing this? (i cant fork out 5k a year just to be bloody fit to drive)

If I had like a dutch/german/french reg plate and insurance, would I have to do MOTs there or in the UK?


I'm not dodging insurance there, just getting it elsewhere.

You can't do this long term as it's about where the car lives for most of it's time.
for instance there are stipulations about being insured in Europe for "up to 90 days a year" on my policies. If the car "lives" in UK it has to registered here.
