    Try Stuart Collins brokers. They specialise in vehicles taken abroad for periods, but whether they would be able to provide the cover you want, I don't know.
    The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.

    Could they quote? If not, did they specify why not?

    What sort of vehicle (I'm guessing minibus / people carrier)

    What countries?

    How long is each trip

    I think you need to be looking for a broker who specialises in chaffeur or coach insurance. Probably a Lloyds syndicate will write this but there can't be many people need cover as you do so the market will be very small.

    and expensive which I suspect the OP will not be pleased about.

    I placed a similar case quote a few years ago, resulted in an accident with five largish personal injury claims for UK and non UK passengers which I seem to remember made the claim even more complex and expensive

    In terms of Coach Travel nothing to Weird. But I am not a Coach.

    France
    Belgium
    Netherlands
    Germany
    Austria
    Italy
    Hungary
    Slovenia
    and Spain Rarely.

    each trip is about 11 days - 12 days - 1 or 2 days Off in the UK then back Out again.

    The other idea is Eurpoean companies, But would they insure a UK registered Vehicle.

    Herts Insurance are a specialist motor risks broker who might be worth phoning. Even if they can't help, they might know who does this type of cover.

    There must be other operators in the UK who are doing what you are. Who provides their Insurance ? You could make a cheeky enquiry and see if they recommend someone.

  • The Main problem being as I have been turned few times.
    is the amount of European Cover.

    Yet to find a company that that does what I am doing.
