Hi guys,
I am covered with ebike (UK), and they will cover me anywhere in the EU except Romania.
The web site says
Bulgaria and Romania have recently joined the EU, but at present these countries are not listed as part of the Territorial Limits in our policy documentation.
Southern Rock however has agreed to provide RTA (Road Traffic Act) cover for clients travelling in these countries in the interim.
Under the terms of the Third European Union Directive, vehicles used in EU countries must provide the minimum cover required in the country the vehicle is registered, or the country in which it is being used; whichever is the greater.
The minimum level of cover available in the UK is RTA and offers the following cover:
The 1988 Road Traffic Act provides for unlimited indemnity in respect of bodily injury or death to third parties, a £250,000 limit for loss of or damage to third party property, claimants’ costs and expenses, and emergency medical treatment and hospital charges arising out of the vehicle use.
Does this mean i need to get an other policy or is the Southern Rock RTA enough for being on the road legally. Do I have to contact Southern Rock? I am asking here first cus insurance companies tend to try to sell you stuff that you do not need, if you dont know what you are asking for.
Cheers
