Any ideas on why the import insurance is dearer conidering extra saftey stuff the imports have ie, engine speed limited, boing at speeds to warn drivers, boing when in reverse.

 

Are the cars not the same otherwise really?

 

Cheers,

It's because of the difficulty and expense of getting hold of non-standard parts.

Although in reality if you use your brain it doesn't really cost anything extra yourself but if you were an insurer having to provide a hire car until a part arrived from Japan you might see it differently I suppose.

That makes some kind of sense....

Was trying loads of different insurers as my Vectra is up for renewal at the end of the month, and had a quote of £416 from my present insurer, fully comp with my wife on a provisional licence. Tried Elephant.com, and got a quote of £217, protected no claims bonus, Legal Cover and a Voluntary excess of £100 for each of us !

 

So went for the Zed !!

Import, T/T, Auto, mods to the wheels, body kit, Stereo and a limited mileage of 5,000.

Fully comp, legal cover, with £200 voluntary excess, everyday cover, not a classic car policy, how much ???
