European Insurance

 ·  Posted: 27.03.2019  ·  #1
Currently looking for my first motorhome with plans to travel around continental Europe for a couple of years.

I'm just wondering if it's possible to buy a vintage campervan, in Germany for example, and get insured without returning to Ireland or importing it to Ireland. That way I could buy in Germany and continue on my trip without backtracking.

I'm a total newcomer to this world and any advice would be very welcome :)

I don't really know but I'd say trying to sort out insurance would be the biggest problem you may need a European address possibly a PO Box address in Germany and then try ADAC insurance

If planning to stay away long term make sure you don't compromise your residency status for things like insurance products, income tax, welfare, pensions and health care.

I've already been living abroad for 4 years so it's probably too late for that :/
