Car insurance.. 6mths in a Spanish Marina

[Leslie frank]

Hi.
We no longer live aboard but we do try to spend 6mths on the boat from April to October.
This year we plan to take our car down Spain (simplest way to get our dogs there) and I have arranged to leave the car securely at the marina until we come back in October. I just found out that my car insurance wont cover this even though I just want 3rd party cover so they have no exposure to the risk of theft.
Does anyone do anything similar and who do you insure with?
Cheers

There are companies out there who will insure you for longer stays.
eg from Mr Gooogle - haven't used them.

I tried Sterling. Disappointingly they wouldn't provide cover as the car would be left at the marina and not used.

How long can you take the car to EU/Spain for before you should/must register it as Spanish? IIRC coming the otherway the official position in 6 months (although many don't).

Depends on if you're an EU resident or not - non-residents can temporarily import for 6 months.
