Auto Insurance for American driving personal car in Europe

As a U.S. citizeen driving our personal, shipped over, car in Europe for a year, I can not find comprehensive insurance, in part because I have no resident address. There's 3rd party insurance, but can not get comprehensive, while staying in Amsterdam. Any thoughts/directions on this dilema are appreciated.

david, I'm running out the door so can't search at the moment. We have had 2 similar questions in the past year or so, perhaps a search using the search box in the upper right corner will glean a prior answer.

Have you got your visa worked out?

There were two extensive discussions on this subject within the past year. How are you handling the Schengen visa issue?

david,

My question is the same as Frank's. As you're planning to be there longer than 90-days, have you dealt with the Schengen Visa issues???

Since they are shipping their own car over, I would assume that they will either be on a work visa or a sabbatical/education visa.

I think this may be one of the previous threads, from last June:
