Looks great. Anyone know how ROI is considered under most insurance policies? Trying to work out whether I need to buy the European cover or not.
I've always informed my insurers when I visit family in Ireland.I'd guess that since Brexit the ROI will be deemed part of mainland Europe. However, my policy includes driving in Europe at no extra cost....there is a limit on length of stay though. Got to be worth a 'phone call?
