    Well what options were you considering as a response to the question about who your insurer was?
    I really don't know. I am a novice to it all and really would appreciate your kind advise.

     If it was in Spain then it would seem that the Uk offence of driving uninsured isn't relevant. There may be something similar in Spain but it sounds like nothing has been reported to the Spanish authorities.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    There is certainly something "similar" in Spain and all EU countries. Like in the UK, given it came from EU legislation, you mustt have TPO cover on the vehicle at all times, even when not driving it, unless it's been declared permanently off the road (same as here with SORN)

    Unless the DVLA had been told it was being exported, then the continuous insurance law applies.

    The OP says "another car from another lane came and hit us", which implies that the other driver was at fault.

    If the OP was not at fault, then the fact that he was uninsured is irrelevant.


    This is what the OP said, "In the morning the parking attendant guided us to move forward and when we did another car from another lane came and hit us."

    So not so clear cut, it sounds more like 50/50

    Its pure speculation until other versions of events are heard... as the OP has presented it it sounds like the TP's fault but the TP may say the mirror, that they were instructed to proceed and the OP ignored the instruction to wait and moved forward anyway causing the collision.

    Simple answer tell the truth if not then the consequences are you will likely find yourself blacklisted and be unable to get insurance in future.
