what price to insure a car in palomares and what company does it
Hi,
Obviously it depends on the vehicle. Age , make. Value, etc & the driver.
We have been with Linea Directa for 15yrs & never.a claim. We asked Ged at Liberty Seguros, Mojacar and the quote was cheaper but astronomical excess and no immediate courtesy vehicle.
Still Ged is a lovely chap & we have our property insurance through him. May be worth an enquiry.
I now have no excess with LS.
Just get quotes. All on Google Search.
LD, Liberty Seguros, Ibex, Mapfre etc.
LD ring you back if you ask on line.
Best of.luck.

Car insurance is dearer in Spain, than Uk.
Check the small print. If you break down with most insurers more than 100 - 150 km away from Palomares, where you are, you will not get home. Most insurance company's set a 100km recovery limit for you and your car.
Then costs for recovery, car hire, accommodation can get very, very expensive.
Two company's offer unlimited mileage cover Mapfre (Spanish speaking) or Linea Directa (English & Spanish speaking)
I chose Linea Directa - necessity if your on the side of the motorway and you are not fluent in Spanish.
I broke down under the cover of one of the other companies. It cost me a fortune because the cover from home was max 100 km ( I was 450km from home) Gruas tow, accommodation car hire to get home then finally collect the car (900+ km)
Nobody realizes unless it happens to them.
Chose another company save a few euros, they are cut price for a reason !!!!!!!!
Just dont travel more than 100km from home, lol.
Hope this helps, regards Al
Hi again,
Al is absolutely correct which is why I'm with LD. They will also undercut any offer & if not offer a 80€ Amazon.voucher which you can use on es or .uk.
Other Companies will take.you to nearest repair centre & then you are on your own.

Hi, depends on car. Go to their website input your details and you will get a quote. Obviously I would recommend you pay particular attention to recovery details with any insurer you go with.
I learned the hard way and my car breakdown 450km away from home cost me more than the the years insurance to get accommodation overnight, towing charges, car hire, almost impossible because it happened over Easter weekend and everywhere was shut. I did a 900 km round trip to collect my car total cost was nearly 700€.
I learned my lesson about budget insurance cover...........

Yes, try Abbeygate just do not travel further than 150 km. I got stranded 450 km from home cost me 700€ for accommodation car hire home and back to collect my car and fuel costs...........
