Car Insurance Uk

I've had my car insurance in the UK for 10 years and have 70% no claims discount (deductables as you would call it in the US).

But because I'm here now in the US permanently, is it at all possible to pass my deductables from my UK insurance company to that in the US when I need to buy insurance?
oops sorry, I mean Bonus discounts.
Thanks.

a deductible is not the same as bonus, a deductible is an excess,
UK bonus is not recognised by US insurers

From 2011, new measures have been introduced by the DVLA to combat uninsured driving. Find out how to check your vehicle is showing as &#39 ...

I recently exchanged my Canadian driving license for a full UK license but insurance quotes are so high because most companies only consider that I haven't had my full license for more than a year (in fact I have had a full Canadian license for 8 years). The insurance companies also don't seem to consider that I have had no claims on my Canadian insurance for 8 years. Does anyone know of a UK car insurance provider that will consider foreign driving experience in their quotes?

Try Liverpool Victoria - they are based in Bournemouth??

You can get a quote on the web, but in your instance I would call them and discuss your situation, I even got an introductory 1 year no claims bonus.

Their number is - 0870 6004528

And good luck.

I'm 16 and will soon begin driving lessons, and every company I go to online to find a quote asks for my name and address, and until I need the insurance i'm not going to enter them.

Does anyone have an idea how much a 17 year old would expect to insure a first car (something small like a Vauxhall Corso, Renault Clio et al)?

If you want an accurate quote then you'll need to enter an address I'm affraid.

The quote will take the postcode into account and this can impact the premium significantly.

You could always enter some details close to yours but not exact. Some companies will hound you as soon as you get a quote, especially off the price comparison websites.

I agree with the set aside a day for quotes. The price comparison websites make it a bit easier, but not all companies are listed on them and any quote given needs to be taken with a pinch of salt as whenever I've used them the premium has gone up when I finalise the quote for some aspect that the price comparison website doesn't take into account.

Some of the best companies aren't listed so you need to go to them directly.

I'd imagine £1000 to £1500 a year for a standard Clio or Corsa with say a 1.0 or 1.2 engine.

Higher spec or any modifications would put the price up significantly.

I am about to get my full UK driving license and purchase a car, and need auto insurance - given that my UK license will be completely new, will any UK providers take into account the fact that I have been driving with a US license for the past 9 years?

probably not as you'll have been driving on the other side of the road. Try searching for specialist insurance compaines. its unfortunate that you cant use a foreign licence in the uk for more than 1 year. maybe sites like moneysupermarket.com or confused.com could help

Am going to start driving lessons in a few weeks and want to have practise on the roads between lessons. How much will it cost me to be added to a friends car insurance. We are both over 25 and she has held her license for over 15 years. She has a Matiz is that's any help!

Probably 100 a month or more, depending on the cover type
