Review of Sterling Insurance


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Don't waste your time if you're looking for ex-pat motor insurance

This company advertises expat motor insurance for UK cars in Portugal.
Their website gives examples of various people spening at least 8 months a year in Portugal and people working there who want to continue using their UK registered car.
I found this to be misleading and a waste of time.
After completing an online form and spending over an hour on the phone I was told I couldn't be insured on a new VW T-Toc because of the amount of time the cat would be outside the UK (8 months) and the value (£30K).
I was left feeing frustrated and misled.
