A girl in need - Crazy cost to insure a left hand drive
Discussion
Hello,
28 year old, dark haired, very pretty Spanish girl in the office (si), has brought her little C3 to the UK.
Anyone recommend an Insurance company to cover a bog standard C3, 1.1, green thing, but a left hand drive?
She has 7 years of (Notary confirmed) Spanish NCB, and has 1 year of British NCB. lives in the UK etc etc etc .
To re-new, she's been quoted £700.
As a re-flux I suggested a company who offer specialist insurance, but they want £1,000+...

Is it UK or Spanish registered?
If still Spanish that might be causing some of the problem. If it is, send it back and buy a UK car.
If it's been UK registered the biggest stumbling block is going to be lack of experience of driving LHD cars in the UK. Irrespective of previous driving history.
It sounds like it's going to be the usual ballache of google and lots of time on the phone.
I have the same rigmoral every year with my car.

It's the lack of LHD driving over here that's causing the problem.
A-Plan won't touch you unless you've got at least one years experience. How you're supposed to get the experience when you can't get insurance seems to be beyond them.
OP says she's got 1 year's experience...A-Plan won't touch you unless you've got at least one years experience. How you're supposed to get the experience when you can't get insurance seems to be beyond them.

No answers without pictures. And I don't mean of the C3. 28 year old, dark haired, very pretty Spanish girl in the office (si), has brought her little C3 to the UK.

LHD cars were worth more than RHD ones last time I looked. Why doesn't she sell it and buy a RHD one?
Would you like to make an offer or a 52 plate Citroen C3, 1.1 in Kermit the Frog Green?I'll wager it's not worth much!
