Car Insurance?
« on: January 27, 2016, 09:52:04 AM »
Hi, who do you use for your car insurance on the US licenses? My insurance is £35pcm but they want to put it up to £145 to insure my husband too, which is well outside of our budget :(

I had Admiral before I had my UK license (still do).

I would recommend he applies for his UK provisional ASAP which will help.  When he has his full UK license it will drop considerably.  Even moreso after he's had it for a full year, and then a bit more after he's had it for two years.

I found LV to be very easy to deal with when I needed insurance on my Dad's car, and only had a valid US license.

We were pleasantly surprised when we moved back last April......Got ours through Tesco and I think we were around £700 for my wife (UK) and I (US). I'm 58 though....wife is 55. We couldn't use our US driving record since we had been gone 4 years, so whatever the exact price was good enough for us.

Ours was around that price as well - maybe £800 a year through Elephant.
