    To be honest I am not too sure. The quote is online and they do not give you the option to add any insurance. My plan was to give them a call tonight.
    The villa is not a necessity, I think a suite might suit us better. I just need a little kitchen to be able to do pack lunches, breakfast .. to keep the cost down.

    Actually I just realised that the quote wasn't £2000 but £1165 for Flydrive and £500 for the villa. Thanks
