Heard a piece on the radio yesterday on this and the Insurers seemed to be less than helpful on this whole matter, with little info available as yet. Some talk of extending FC cover abroad for additional premiums I think, although as you say, it'll probably be down to the individual to pursue claims.
More Brexit joy.....
Re: idc or international driving permit info
If I read the info on the post office site correctly in order to go to Portugal, I will need two IDPs. A 1968 one that covers France and Portugal and a 1949 one that covers Spain. So an extra £11 plus photos etc. My insurance company have sent an email saying I may need a green card. All of this is assuming we leave with no deal. If not I might not need any of this. Can you imagine if you were faced with this on a much larger scale, say running a freight business.
What a fiasco.

Re: idc or international driving permit info
Yep, still waiting for any Breiteer to inform me of any advantage of any Brexit outcome, that might affect me in anyway. As I’m not travelling until the end of May, I’ll wait to see the outcome before I splash out on an IDP, in the hope of saving myself £5.50.johnnyboxer wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2019 6:27 amAre you really sure??SteveR wrote:It's OK JB, it's all for the Greater Good..... or something.johnnyboxer wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2019 7:42 pmBrexit was about 'taking back control'Jak* wrote:If I read the info on the post office site correctly in order to go to Portugal, I will need two IDPs.
