What is import car insurance?
Import car insurance covers those specialist makes and models brought into the country by enthusiasts.
Big American gas guzzlers for example, or a specialist Italian sports car.
It can also cover private imports of regular models like a family car or a 4 x 4.
Insurance for these cars may be slightly different because they were initially registered abroad and they may have foreign specifications, including left hand drive.
If you're looking for import car insurance, you may be able to get cover under a standard policy, but it's possible that your provider will need the car to have been re-registered in the UK first. The level and cost of import car insurance will probably depend on how unusual or 'exotic' your car is. For a standard 4 x 4, insurance will probably be similar to UK rates.
