Message to any Americans thinking of insurance here -- Italsure and Intasure, both in London, will not insure the homes of American citizens abroad. Italsure DOES cover our car policy here - just not American homes. Copeland gave me a quote of 895 GBP (about $1250) including earthquake coverage. Our friends in Scalea found a local company that actually offers earthquake coverage and their policy in old Scalea is much less. I'll check back in with any further news. It's not all that much worse than in the US. Our home policy was about $800 and to add earthquake coverage there would have cost an additional $700!!! The earthquake threat is much higher here than Oregon, USA. |
