Third-Party Car Insurance in Spain

Looking for a basic level of car insurance in Spain? 247 Expat Insurance helps expats request third-party car insurance quotes, with clear English-speaking support.

A Basic Level of Cover

What Is Third-Party Car Insurance in Spain?

Third-party car insurance is a basic level of motor cover. It focuses on damage or injury you may cause to other people or their property while driving. It does not normally include damage to your own vehicle.

For expats with an older or lower-value car, or those who simply want a more basic level of protection, third-party cover can be a sensible choice. At 247 Expat Insurance, we help you understand what a third-party policy does and does not include, and request a personalised quote for your Spanish-registered vehicle.

What It Covers

What Does Third-Party Car Insurance Include?

Exact cover depends on the insurer and policy. A third-party policy typically focuses on:

Injury to Others

Cover for injury you may cause to other people while driving, subject to policy terms.

Damage to Others' Property

Cover for damage you may cause to another vehicle or property.

Legal Liability

Protection relating to your legal liability as a driver, depending on the policy.

Optional Add-Ons

Some policies allow selected extras. If you want more, consider extended third-party or comprehensive cover.
