Co-operative Insurance has warned football fans planning to drive to Germany to watch the World Cup they should first make sure they have adequate car insurance cover.

Hundreds of England fans are expected to drive to Germany and run the risk of having an accident driving on unfamiliar roads.

The insurance company advises fans to sort out all aspects of their motor insurance, including breakdown cover as the cost of arranging for a car to be brought back to the UK can run into thousands of pounds.

Most motorists have to apply for an extension to their cover when travelling in the EU, but Co-operative Insurance is offering full European cover at no extra cost.

David Newman, director of marketing at Co-operative Insurance, said: "By providing customers with policies offering greater freedom, they can travel whenever they wish - and worry about nothing but the performance of the players on the pitch."

Co-operative Insurance European cover may be of increasing interest as the tournament nears, without flights booked many fans might see travelling to the matches by car as good way to get there.
