If you have moved to Portugal but would like to still drive your UK-registered vehicle there, Sterling can help you find insurance to cover you. We can cover your car, van or campervan whether you’re retired, working or simply enjoying a different way of life. Prices start from £350.
Some British expats who have set up residence in Portugal prefer to take their UK-registered vehicle with them. It can be used to explore the region that’s now home, and also to pop back to the UK for visits.
Sterling has access to various insurance providers so you find the best deal on Portuguese car insurance for expats. As long as your UK-registered car is in Portugal for at least eight months of the year, we can provide insurance cover.

Sterling can insure a UK-registered vehicle whether you’ve retired to Portugal or relocated there for work. We can also arrange cover if you plan on driving to additional European countries, and even further afield as well.

Our customers tell us that many Portuguese insurance companies struggle to insure British cars owned by expats, especially if they need to drive back to the UK regularly for work or to visit family and friends.
And companies that can provide a quote usually demand you re-register your car in Portugal, which is yet another admin chore.
However, Sterling offers specialist expat insurance for Brits living in Portugal. They provide comprehensive cover while you live and drive in Portugal, and Green Card insurance when you need to come back to the UK.
As long as you keep your UK-registered car abroad for at least eight months of the year, Sterling will provide cover that allows you to use the same car, van or campervan in Portugal that you drove in the UK, eliminating the need to buy a new car abroad.
