Does my overseas car insurance cover me in Britain?

What you need to know
GOV.UK gives specific guidance for vehicles insured in EU/EEA-related countries and for countries inside or outside the green card system.
Contact your own insurer before travel rather than assuming your domestic cover automatically applies.
If your own foreign policy already provides valid UK cover, buying another policy may be unnecessary.
Need short-term car insurance?
If you are eligible and need temporary cover, you can compare available short-term insurance quotes and check the territorial limits of the policy offered before you buy.
