How can my elderly parents from NZ get car insurance for 6mnth UK visit?

Question

My parents will be 74 & 75 when they come over in April 09. They want to buy a car and travel around for 6 months. Any suggestions for how to get them insurance appreciated

Answer 1

Could you get the insurance and car in your name and then add them to the policy as additional drivers, it may be cheaper as well to take it out with your insurance company it might bring your own down also.

Answer 2

For auto insurance the quick way to get a fantastic quote is do a policy comparison on car policies. Make sure that you compare similar policies with the same deductibles, car type, location, etc so that all options are a good comparison.



What I always recommend is an online comparison quote at http://www.InsureAutoNow.info since they have top name insurers and can give multiple quotes on car insurance polices.

Answer 3

Personally, I would buy a second car and arrange the insurance through a local agent. That way you will be able to pick the cover which best suits your parents requirements. Ensure your parents bring their driving licences and insurance documents (to prove they have cover in their home country)

Answer 4

just take out the insurance and pay monthly...most company do it...after 6 months just cancel the policy.

Answer 5

unfortunately they will pay more for 6 months than 12 months,wherever they are staying they just get insured for the year then after six months cancel,

Answer 6

Can only ask insurer companies.   Or hire a car with insurance included,  Probably get a good deal for 6 months hire.
