Insurance for JDM
 

Looking to get insurance on fresh import 2008 Hatch 2.0
Best quote I've had is Keith Michaels £950
Adrian flux was a lot more any suggestions ?
I have 6 years no claims

comparethemarket.com

Do they do imports?

Doesn't look like it

Another problem is being an import it doesn't come up when you put reg in

Kieth Michaels will be your best. That seems like a good quote.

Best quote I have ever had, Sky or Greenlight couldnt touch them.

No standard insurer will touch you when you say its an import...they are only use to poverty spec cars.

Sky wouldn't even quote me " underwriters won't insure in my postcode "

To be honest, you've got a real good price there, don't even know why you are worrying about other insurers!

Just used to paying £600 on my merc but agree that is a good price

Greenlight insured my jdm

What you paying ?

£580 fully comp all mods declared running over 400bhp
But i am 43 and 7yrs ncb

I'm not to far behind 34 with 6 years NCB

Im with Admiral on my JDM Blob! £470 fully comp with 9 years NCB. Just phoned them up after being on a comparison website. Direct Line/Privilege do them as well

9yrs is a bit and as said postcodes count

I do think it's the postcode

Thats good to know, did your declare mods and stuff?

Im £750 on mine, 10 years NC or whatever the max is, 33, no points

Pretty much what I pay with HIC.

Not yet. Only got exhaust and induction kit

Think I got about 6/7 years ncb, I'm 27 and insured fully comp with moley (keith micheals) for about 800 with protective claims bonus and that's on my jdm hawk T20.

Been with KM for around 8+ years, every so often i get a cross quote and each time it comes back 30-100+% more than KM.

Insurance on our MR2 conv has halved over the past 3 yrs and on my aero has also dropped year on year as they get the best deals for us. Its not just that they are cheap,, they are also good! usually the two do not go together, they prove to be an exception to that rule.

I got a quote via Admiral for my import S202 which was very competitive, last time I went through one of the major comparison sites there was a box you could tick which asked if the car was an import or not.

Look harder :thumb:

Mine's an import and "standard" insurers are all I've used, as the so-called specialists are always more expensive.

So you are not technically insured then? if you havent declared your exhaust or induction kit?

Thats really interesting, over the past eight years of import ownership, i could not get a standard insurer to insure the car. Granted I havent tried in the past two years, but I'll give it a go come February, sounds like things are getting better!

You had all mods declared as well?

Yep.

Used to have my Classic WRX insured with Admiral. All mods were declared but in the event of an accident parts would only be replaced with 'standard' parts.

All the above prices are making my insurance look cheap.

31 years old, 0 no claims (all being used on another car), fully comp, all mods declared and replaced like for like, every option ticked including courtesy car, legal, screen, audio etc etc
£390 with SKY.
