Question

Can you get car insurane from the british court, for either private or commerical us?

Answer 1

From a court of justice? No, only from an insurance company like Churchill, Norwich Union and many others.

What you need is a British address, driving licence (British one or from any country of the European Union, they have equall legal status - it can be French, German, Polish, Slovak, Swdish etc. but you should mention this when talking to a representative, they can't charge you more for not having a British licence). If you have previous record of insurance, say a letter from your previous insurance company stating that you didn't have any claim in the past few years, it will help you to get lower premium.

Answer 2

There is an alternative in the road traffic act (U.K.) which allows one to lodge a certain amount of money with some government agency in lieu of insurance.   I can't remember the precise figure, but it's a huge amount though (well into five figures), so not an option that most normal people would take.
