Portugese insurance
Hi all - am wanting to travel to Portugal to buy a car, but it appears hard for me as a UK citizen to insure it - is there any form of short term insurance I can take out in Portugal to cover me whilst i drive the car back to the UK?

Why not add european cover to your existing policy and add the vehicle as a temporary additional vehicle?
Surely you would have to insure it properly before arriving in Dover as it will need to be taxed.D3 07 SE - still going strong
D3 07 HSE - gone to car heaven
FL1 - gone to Romania
D3 05 HSE - gone to a divorce diet
D1 V8 manual - gone but not forgotten
RR Classic - gone to car heaven
Jeeps, Lexus, X-trails... Too many to name..

Xcentric did you not have any luck with our other suggestions as it seems impossible to insure a car in Portugal without a residency card from what i have read so far Discovery 3 se gone

My mother in law lives in Portugal and from what I've seen cars are so much more expensive than here in the U.K.D3 Metropolis Bonatti Grey-Alpaca Leather-adaptive headlights-fridge-EGR blanking kit-Harmen Karden-Cruise-4x4 info enabled-Tinted Windows-Heated F&R Seats-Rosen rear Entertainment-LED'S everywhere -Smoked Side Repeaters-Rear Aircon-Vredestein Wintrac 4 Extreme-Puddle and Footwell Lamps-Stainless Steel Side Protection Tubes- NEW ASHTRAY ( thanks to dsd1036 )
