Motor Insurance in Spain\u00a0<\/strong>is very similar to Motor Insurance in the UK.\u00a0 The Law in Spain requires that all motorised vehicles have at least the minimum\u00a0Third Party Liability\u00a0<\/strong>coverage in effect\u00a0at all times<\/strong>, whether the vehicle is being driven on the road or not.<\/p>\n

It is no longer a legal requirement to carry original insurance documents in a Spanish registered vehicle.\u00a0 This law changed back in October of 2008 as the details of Motor Insurance Policies will appear on the\u00a0National Database, FIVA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Motor accidents are more frequent here in Spain and tend to be more serious too.\u00a0 As well as property damage to your vehicle there can also be injuries to the Driver or Occupants of your vehicle.\u00a0 There may also be damage to other people\u2019s property or bodily injury to other persons for which you would be responsible if it is determined that the accident is your fault.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

One of the main differences here in Spain when compared to Great Britain is the\u00a0Convenio Agreement<\/strong>\u00a0that exists here in Spain between Insurers.\u00a0 If you have an accident here in Spain with your Spanish registered car you will benefit from the\u00a0Convenio Agreement<\/strong>.\u00a0 This is an important benefit that can save a lot of time when we have to make reclamation against another Insurer for damage that their Insured has caused to your Insured Vehicle.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this\u00a0Convenio Agreement\u00a0<\/strong>claims for reclamations against other persons, other Insurers can be resolved within just\u00a015 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is for the above reason that it is very important to contract your\u00a0Motor Insurance here in Spain\u00a0<\/strong>with\u00a0Right Way Insurance\u00a0<\/strong>and not with other Expatriate Insurance providers who are using Insurers that are based outside of Spain, as they are not part of the Convenio Agreement.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
