Advantages: you can save money importing a car

Disadvantages: it can be difficult to arrange insurance

I experienced real problems trying to insure an imported car – a Mitsubishi Pajero - from Southern Ireland. As soon as I told an insurer the car was still on an Irish number plate and that I would need a covernote with a chassis number for the DVLA they couldn’t help me. I was recommended to a company called A J Insurance Service (0870) 444 3511 who specialise in imported cars, chassis number covernotes etc. The guy I spoke to was really helpful and explained the registration process to me clearly – in plain English. The cost of the insurance compared well with quotes I’d had from other 4x4 and import specialists. If you are getting knocked back by the red phone or the mouse I’d definitely say this lot are worth talking to.

Summary: a relief to speak to a company who understood what i needed
