Buying a car abroad and importing it into the UK can be a wise financial decision.

Imported Car Insurance - The Main Insurance Issues

One of the main issues that insurance companies have with insuring imported cars are that they tend not to be built to recognised European standards or are not EU approved. This makes it difficult for the insurance company to establish the risks involved with insuring the car, as it does not fit comfortable within their standard policy. Threrefore, most imported cars need to gain cover under specialist schemes.

Another major issue is the cost of replacement parts, as they may not be available from most UK garages. Others considerations taken into account when insuring imported cars include the fact that the car may be left-hand drive or have been built to be driven under different driving conditions from those in the UK, which again may effect the insurance companies assessment of risk of an accident happening.

There are certain things that can be done to improve the risks concerns and some insurance companies may ask for some security steps to be taken, like fitting a Thatcham security device to the car or request that the car be keep in a garage over night. It is worthwhile checking the price of the insurance cover prior to buying the car, if possible, as there may be some issues that you might need to considered before buying an car from abroad.

Through our many years of being in the Import Car Insurance market, we are highly experienced within this field and our Imported Car Insurance Scheme has been tailored towards the requirements of drivers with these types of vehicles.

Some of the main issues that insurance companies have with imported cars are:
