I am in the UK and will move to Spain in December.
I have bought a Gibraltar registered car in the UK to drive down to Spain. I am having a problem finding a company to insure it for the journey to Spain whilst it is still Gib registered.
No Spanish insurer that I have talked to will insure it unless it on temporary "Green Plates" or is in Spain already. Not possible as the car is in the UK.
No UK insurer that I have spoken to will insure it unless it is UK registered or going to be UK registered, and only for journeys to the relevant testing stations etc to achieve UK registration, not for general use. Not possible as it it prohibitively expensive and time consuming.
No Gibraltar insurer that I have spoken to will insure it unless I have a registered address in Gibraltar. Not possible as I don't.
Ideally, I need a Spanish insurer that will insure it temporarily on the Chassis Number or Gib plates, pending Spanish registration. I will then take out normal insurance for the year with them.
I have engaged a Gestor in Spain to register the car upon my arrival on the 18/19th of December.
I would really appreciate any advice or suggestions of insurance companies that have an understanding of this requirement. Most 'normal' insurance companies can't accommodate such things, so I need a specialist.
Any advice or help would be graciously and gratefully received
Many Thanks.
