Hola all. I am trying to find out if I can insure a spanish car, if , until I pass my spanish test, I am using an international licence.
ie; do you need licence details for insurance or not.
I am getting my TIE but was too late submitting my UK licence because of travel restrictions so am hoping my international licence will tide me over for the time being
Thanks
Stephen
it was decided that the IDP was not needed by UK drivers to drive in the EU. Your Uk licence can be used for 6 months and then you must have taken and passed a Spanish driving test. If your licence was automatically renewed because it ran out during the Covid lockdown then you are not allowed to use it in the EU you must have renewed it properly. I believe you can insure a Spanish car using a UK licence but you will not be able to drive after the 6 months if you have not passed the Spanish test. Maybe Dario can confirm this for you.
