   United States Auto insurance only covers the United States, it's territories and Canada. In order to operate a vehicle in Europe you would have to purchase coverage there as Europe does not recognize US insurance. Also the US insurance carriers have no recourse in the event of a law suit in a country outside their jurisdiction. 
   Man US insurance carriers do cover you into Mexico but I recommend if entering Mexico you purchase Mexican Insurance as it is illegal in Mexico to drive without Mexican Insurance.
