Importing a car from abroad, especially one from America or Japan, can be a great way to drive an individual vehicle that few other drivers will have. By importing a car, you can make substantial savings on the purchase price but you can also make insuring the motor vehicle more difficult. Another benefit of importing a vehicle is that many keep their value very well. Some American models have exceptional retained value.
Our partner can help you find cheap imported car insurance using their online comparison engine which compares quotes from providers who have special schemes for imported vehicles. The providers on their panel can cover imported vehicles and grey imports.
If your car is simply the European version of an otherwise standard UK vehicle and is right hand drive, many companies will treat this as the same as a UK model. However, some insurers refuse to insure imports at all. For many insurers the reasoning is that the parts are more expensive and therefore the liability greater.
Superquote has helped drives of imported Japanese cars such as:
· Honda
· Subaru
· Mistsubishi (including Pajero)
· Nissan
· American Imports – Lincoln, Dodge, Ford and Many Others
The security fittings with an imported vehicle can make a difference when it comes to getting a quotation. Having a thatcham approved immobiliser or a tracker may mean you get a cheaper quote. Sometimes, superior security devices will be mandatory in order to get a quote for an import.
Our partner can help drivers with imported left hand drive cars too.
Think Before You Buy an Import!
Other considerations of importing and insuring a car are:
- Specification – Many imports have a better specification than the UK models
- Parts – Attaining parts for an import can be difficult, particularly if it is a rare vehicle in the UK
- Maintenance – You may need specialist (expensive) support in servicing your imported car
- Warranty – Will you get a warranty with your purchase? Many cars bought on the international market will not come with a warranty
- Insurance – It is easier now to find cheaper insurance for import cars but get a quote before you commit to your purchase
