Reader’s Question:
Is my Manchester, New Hampshire car insurance valid in other countries around the globe?

Hey, Monique! Your Manchester, NH auto insurance coverage is usually not considered effective if you’re driving outside the U.S. and Canada. However, there are rental car companies that make it easy for you to buy insurance when you rent a car. And if you’re not sure of the insurance requirements of the country you are visiting, you can start looking for answers with the rental car company.
Basically, you should purchase car insurance from the foreign car rental company that is similar to your auto insurance coverage in the United States. If you’re going to tour different countries, make sure that the rental car company provides you with a car insurance that complies with auto insurance regulations in all the countries where you planning to drive.
I would also suggest that you book your rental car reservation early. There are some companies that give out discounts for early reservations there in Manchester, NH. You can also ask different questions about auto insurance coverage abroad, driving conditions in a particular country or city, and generally what to expect and how to prepare, especially if accidents might occur. And if you have the time (and money), it’s also wise to shop around for your car’s auto insurance coverage abroad.
