Why choose Sterling’s Expat Insurance?

Many UK residents who relocate abroad would like to take their car in the UK with them when they go. It’s what they feel most comfortable driving, whether it’s to explore the region of their new home or visit friends and family still living in the UK.

Sterling has access to many insurance companies so you can find the best deal for your policy. Sterling’s expat cover offers truly international car insurance and, as long as your UK-registered car is used abroad for at least eight months of the year, we’ll provide insurance cover to use your car, van or campervan on European roads.

Whether you’ve chosen to move abroad for your retirement, for work, or for a different way of life, Sterling has expat policies that can suit your needs and will be there at the other end of the phone line 24/7, should the need arise.

Don’t forget, if you need to make an accident claim you’ll be a foreigner with a foreign driving licence so won’t it be good to know one of Britain’s largest independent insurance brokers is on your side?

We want to help reduce the worry and red tape when you come to take your UK car to Europe. And, because we cover you home and abroad, you won’t have to worry about temporary car insurance when you return to visit family and friends in the UK.

Call us direct – our best prices are usually only available over the phone.

We will compare policies and levels of cover to suit your circumstances and come up with the best price for you. And, if you are new to Sterling and have previously been insured by a company in your new country of residence, we may even be able to take your foreign no claims bonus into consideration when working out your premium.
