Car insurance in France
Currently changing our car insurers so thought I would share a few facts about French car insurance and why we have alot less uninsured drivers. So in France it is the car which is insured, not the driver. Main driver is named, but other drivers can use the car with the same level of cover, although they usually have to be over 25 and held a full licence for at least 3 years. Insurance is on a rolling contract, so unless you change insurers,they have to officially notify your old company, or sell or scrap the vehicle, at which time you you will receive an official document which you have to forward to you insurance company, your insurance will automatically renew. So if you own a car it must be insured, even if it has been taken of the road. You also have to display a sticker on your windscreen showing details of you insurance.
