POV, Part 2

I forgot to mention that the insurance situation is quite complicated. It's very expensive to insure a car in Italy. Expect to pay at least $200/mo. That's on the low end. We decided to go with USAA because they have experience with military shipment, their rates are pretty good, and they have an office at Aviano. I believe that Geico also has an office. In any event, don't take this post as any kind of official endorsement. Another company my be better for you. Whoever you are. You'll have to work with the insurance company to make sure that you have the appropriate coverage at the appropriate times. We just had to make sure that we were covered on rental cars while the car was en route.

Once you get to Italy, you need to get a letter from your insurance company faxed to the appropriate base office in order to release your car. Because I have not yet done this, I'll refrain from posting about it. I promise to post this information when I've actually done this.
