Rugby fans must check insurance
Published On 16 October 2007
Keen rugby enthusiasts who will be making their way to France by car for the World Cup final this Saturday (October 20th) must make sure that they are correctly insured. That is according to insurance provider NFU Mutual, which has urged such drivers to make the necessary checks before they set off for Paris and find out if they are definitely covered on the other side of the Channel.
Laura Wood from NFU Mutual commented: "As people frantically book up the remaining Channel crossings in the hope of seeing their team lift the trophy for a second time, insurance is probably the last thing on their mind. However, driving on unfamiliar foreign roads can be a tricky business.
"It is important that you check whether you are covered in the event of an accident or theft whilst you drive through France."
Ms Wood also noted that drivers should also check that their vehicle is in good condition before setting off and make sure that they have a good understanding of the French road rules.
