Holidaymakers planning to take their car overseas this summer should make sure they are comprehensively covered, M&S Money claims.
The group believes that with the holiday season gearing up to get into full swing, motorists need to make sure their insurance packages cover them to drive in the EU.
M&S Money’s figures show that last year over two-fifths of Britons had no idea whether they were insured to drive in Europe.
The group claims that while a quarter of other policies in the market charge extra for the addition of cover in the EU, M&S insurance includes full policy cover in the EU as standard.
Its policies also include breakdown cover as standard for both the UK and Europe, with only one in ten packages from other insurers including this.
Steve Price, insurance manager for M&S, said: “It’s important to be aware of what’s required for driving in Europe as you may be caught out quite easily.”
He added: “Just as important is making sure you’re covered, which is why we designed M&S car insurance to enable people to carry on with their holiday or get home safely if there’s a problem with their car.”
