Car insurance france english speaking

Vehicle insurance for non-residents In order to register a car in France and take out a car insurance policy, you must have a permanent French address and proof of residence (for example, a recent electricity bill in your name) will be required.

French insurers refuse to insure you unless you register the car in France. British insurers generally limit the amount of time for which you are covered up to 1 or 2 months.

Generally in France, it is the car that is insured with the details of the main driver. Anyone can then drive the car and will benefit from the same insurance as the policy holder. With many companies, if the driver has held a full licence for less than three, years then the excess is different.

Firstly, this used to be a problem and still is with some French insurers, as many wouldn't accept a UK driving licence. As this is now EU law however, this shouldn't be a problem for much longer. Secondly, you must still have a UK address for your UK driving licence, even if it is your previous UK address.
