Car Insurance Query
Discussion
Hi all, I finally signed up after years of lurking.
I couldnt find a designated insurance section here so apologies if it doesnt belong.
Basically I am Irish, living in Switzerland for 5 years.
In Ireland my parents house was in the country with a big drive for detailing and car maintenance, here in Switzerland we are in an apartment in the city with no garage or parking and, well swiss laws and mentality with regard to car washing and DIY.
So (getting to the point) I have been looking forward to the day my missus finishes her PhD and we move to the UK where I can once again have space for car stuff.
My issue now is, I have put in my details into several online insurance sites, and the quotes I am getting are between 2-3k on something like an R56 Cooper S, or Gold GTI, Im guessing due to my Swiss license and the fact that none of my NCB is taken (drove for 5 years in Ireland and 5 year without accident).
Does anyone perhaps have any experience or recommendations of insurance companies who do/might be more accepting to foreign licenses/NCB?
Im 27yo male btw.
Many thanks!

Sorry if it wasnt clear , I have been driving here for the 5 years too.
Were you a named driver on the policy you were driving here under? If so, some companies will give some discount based on the time you have been a named driver on the policy. If you have been a named driver on a policy then whoever provided that policy are worth talking to.
