Car insurance
comprehensive protection for individually favorable conditions
As in other countries, the third party liability insurance is compulsory in Spain for all vehicles in circulation and even those which are simply parked on public streets or roads. A Spanish insurance is only available if the car is registered in Spain.
In Spain the premium is very high for drivers below the age of 25 years. This is obviously a reflection of the large number of accidents young people cause. Some insurance companies even refuse to insure young drivers. Others require that additional insurances are taken out.
