Why are imported cars more expensive to insure?

Car insurance policies for imported cars tend to be more expensive than for cars bought in the UK, usually because:

  1. It is harder to find spare parts for an imported car and they will be more expensive, making repairs to these cars more costly.
  2. Imported cars are usually more powerful and faster, the likelihood of getting into an accident with them is higher.
  3. An imported car may be made for right-hand drive countries, differences in the design of the car can affect the price of insurance.
  4. The need to go to a specialised car repair shop for repairs
  5. Insurers do not know how risky it will be to insure a certain car

How do I get cheaper insurance for an imported car?

Take your car choice seriously: Some cars, whether imported or bought in the UK, will cost more to insure. This may be because they are more powerful, more expensive or because they are a rare model and harder to find parts for.

Deductible amount: If you agree to a high deductible, the insurer can make the insurance cheaper and you won’t make small or frivolous claims.

Auto Modification: Modifying your car can increase its value, make it unique, and improve its performance, which can lead to higher insurance premiums.

Safety, security and storage: Having security and theft protection systems in place for your car can really reduce the cost of insurance, and storing your car in a garage reduces the risk of theft or vandalism.

No Claims: If you’re a careful driver, you’ll start accumulating a discount or no-claims bonus.

Join a car club or forum: if you’ve joined a club, we know you’ll probably take good care of your vehicle.
