Does your insurance policy cover you for International driving.??
The reason I say this is mine charges me £15 for every trip I take. That was £60 in total last year on top of my preminum.

The fact you get cover is great. Why don't you have a green card. I thought you needed that when abroad for insurance legality. |

I've never been required to pay extra at all, I simply have to notify them... The only time I have to pay extra is to include another driver for the duration of the trip, which is fair, I 'spose.
If I were you, I'd tell your insurers that, on the strength of this requirement, you will be looking for a new broker asap... I bet they will then quash the fee! |

I thought so, they make it to difficult these days for you to leave and go elsewhere. |
