Not neccesarily. I have a RHD Shogun on Spanish plates here and the quote was the same for LHD and RHD with Abbeygate (TradeWiseInsurance). The only consideration can be obtaining RHD specific parts here in the event of a repair however.

Re: rhd car in spain
Been driving my RHD Merc on Spanish plates for 10 years now. Only problem I've had with spare parts are new windscreen wipers, the type with aerofoils that keep the pressed against the screen. Never worked very well and took me ages to figure out that they were upside down and couldn't be fitted the right way around. Replaced with blades without aerofoils as they are the same either way up. Problem solved.
Can't say that I've had any other parts issues.

Re: rhd car in spain
I'm not even sure they ask whether it's RH or LH drive when you set up the policy.

Agreed. Never been asked by any insurance company, both here in Spain or in the UK, whether it was a RH or LH drive.
