insurance in Spain
Below is a copy of my recent post regarding green card insurance in Spain. Also a few points from my previous experience with insurance: I tried to buy insurance on the Greek side of the Greek/Turkish border, i was told they no longer sell it to foreigners. I have bought ADAC insurance twice for my Aussie registered bike, for 6 months and 12 months respectively, nobody said anything about a maximum limit for insurance. I just found out it is possible in Spain (good info at OFESAUTO) but expensive, only buy here if you have to.
Insurance and a green card for foreign registered vehicles is available in Spain from certain agents. The Spanish organisation OFESAUTO has more specific information (in Spanish, English and French) OFESAUTO. This insurance is basically the same thing provided by ADAC in Germany and the same rules apply ie you need to apply in person, although they didn't ask to see the bike, only my documentation. The maximum coverage is 6 months, whereas ADAC provide 12 months. The insurance was also much more expensive in Spain, 80 euros for 15 days cover, 150 euros for 1 month. There is a bigger discount for 6 months cover, but it still works out about 4 times the price of ADAC insurance for 6 months coverage.
Cheers,
