Drivers told to check cover before driving in Alicante

Tourists seeking car rental in Alicante may wish to check their overseas insurance cover following advice from a leading consumer website.

Car rental in Alicante is a popular choice among independent travellers; however, for those not properly insured, overseas driving can prove a financial nightmare, thisismoney.co.uk reports.

Insurance manager at comparison site uswitch.com Ashton Berkhauer tells the website: “You need to check your cover – if you are not fully insured overseas, you can be left stranded at the roadside.”

He added that all car insurance sold in the UK carries mandatory third-party cover for EU countries, many insurers impose a time limit on the policy.

Drivers seeking car rental in Alicante on their Spanish holiday should also note that the automatic third-party cover will not insure them against losses they incur.

Other aspects of driving Spanish holiday makers may want to take note of include the 120-kilometre speed limit on motorways, variable conditions of road surfaces and that – like in the UK – mobile phone use while driving can result in points being added to a license.

If you are considering Car Hire Alicante airport or a Car Hire Murcia to explore the region or just to use the car back and forth from your accommodation please refer to the Car Hire Spain website which compares over 25 of the best car hire companies with one search.
