Insurance for UK vehicle for EU resident insurance

[G_Hague]

I wonder if anyone can recommend an insurer for a vehicle in UK (used for trips here) when resident in Eu and with Eu driving licence? Any help appreciated as this is proving challenging.

In Germany I use Kravag. Covers me for trips anywhere in the EU and outside eg UK, at least for the legally permissable periods ie 90 days in every 180 arrangement.

Thanks my issue is that car stays in UK and I reside in NL - NL companies are not interested to insure and UK companies quotes are really high

Is it registered in the UK in your name? I think you could hit a few obstacles especially as a NL resident with EU DL. There are restrictions how long you can have a vehicle in a foreign country before you have to register it there... and change your license. Try calling a UK insurer and see what they say. Maybe one will accept a UK address even if not your primary residence.

Yes, car registered in my name. I have a quote (underwriter is ERS) so I'm not stuck, but trying to get a competitive quote is difficult. Most UK insurers say no (due to residency) and NL insurers say no (due to car registered in UK).

Novel approach, not sure I'd like to use this in case of a claim. Thanks for out of the box thinking.
