Drivers taking their classic cars over the Channel for an Easter drive through the French countryside or beyond have been advised to ensure their classic car insurance policies cover foreign travel beforehand.
Over three million UK motorists drive into France every year, and consequently should make sure they prepare well beforehand, it has been suggested.
Both price comparison website moneysupermarket.com and insurers Saga have warned of the potential insurance shortfall, with Saga advising motorists to pack legal requirements such as licences and insurance documents, and to send the car for a service beforehand.
Richard Mason of moneysupermarket.com was similarly keen to emphasise the dangers, saying: "UK breakdown policies do not automatically provide cover for driving abroad so those planning to cross the channel or venture further afield should check they have the appropriate cover.
"After all, the last thing you want is to stump up an exorbitant call-out fee or organise your own recovery service while stranded abroad," he added.
