Hi there

For a new retiree with a 90 in 180 day life in Spain is it possible, or indeed advisable to purchase a car to retain in county insured for use on a part time basis? 

I wonder how other temporary expats manage these requirements?

thanks

Hi there,

Much obliged for your response, good to know that it is possible! I will investigate if short term 3 month insurance is a possibility. May be wasteful to take a full year, although car hire on a monthly basis does mount up, especially in the tourist season.

thanks!
