Do you need auto insurance when you travel?

Money News: Making sure you are a car is covered before driving off into the sun can be just as important as taking out travel insurance, the RAC has advised holidaymakers.Adam Cracknell, spokesman for the organisation, said that liability for damage to other vehicles and causing injuries to other motorists can incur "very high costs".Being covered ensures that policy holders have access to expertise in dealing with such situations."Getting car insurance if you're driving abroad is as valuable as getting travel insurance," he argued."If you were involved in a road traffic accident in France and then you passed on your insurance details, they are trained to deal with that and can sort it all out for you. It can be less stressful than sorting it out on your own."He added that take up of the RAC's European recovery service has increased by ten per cent on last year Other products offered by the RAC include car insurance, car breakdown cover, vehicle status checks, car loans and its route planner.
