Q: Insurance for my Australian registered car in UK...where can I get it?
I want to bring my Australian registered Ford panel van to UK to use as a campervan. However I simply cannot find any UK or Australian insurance company who will offer cover against third party risks. I know people take their cars overseas....but HOW do they do it?
A: Hello,
We often take for granted what a convenience our cars are. I was paying a low price for my insurance, but at renewal time, my insurer tried to increase my rates.
My friend sent me a link to this site:
http://www.my-rent-mortgage-help.org
They have a free search to compare auto rates from the major insurers. It saved me a lot of money!
Best of Luck

Moving to Germany. Have hired a van to transport my furniture from U K to Germany. Need a reliable Insurance Co. to insure the furniture whilst in transit.
Can anyone help please.
A: My advice would be to set fire to the furniture in transit and claim on the FIRE insurance. I hope my answer will not sound offensive, but it is a thought. I am sure your furniture is "genuine imitation" Georgian hardwood, so NO offence is meant.

Q: UK ONLY: Had a car crash. Comprehensive insurance. When can I expect to receive a payout?
Three days ago I was driving along in my car when a van undertook me, pulled out, and hit my left hand side pushing me into the central reservation. It is only a £500 car and is obviously a write-off.
Also I got whiplash injuries, and will be off work for a week, and as I am self employed this means that I am down a week's money. I was insured full comp.
How long will I have to wait to receive a cheque to buy a replacement car, and money to cover lost earnings? Would this be paid by my own insurance company?
The accident was the fault of the other guy. But what if he disputes this? Would I have to go to court, and would it delay any repayments?
Thanks
A: I had a accident a year ago same as yours no fault, I think it depends on your insurance company, I was paid out fully within 2 weeks! The injury pay out will be longer as they wait to see the extent of your injuries, Whiplash can take over 1 year to cure, I had physio etc, and then was awarded £1800.00 hope this helpsThe other insurance company should provide you with a courtecy car as you were full comp.
Q: I am thinking of becomming an owner driver courier. Can anyone tell me how hard it is to get work? UK answers?
I am currently self employed but need some more money to boost my income. I have a large van and enjoy driving and so I am considerign doing some courier work. Some of the websites suggest that its very easy to get work and its well paid if you work as a freelancer. Can anyone tell me if there is any truth in that or is it just a clever sales patter to get you to purchase their how to manual? I don't want to fork out loads for insurance if its a myth.
A: our firm has some owner drivers with vans and pickups, and they too are in the £600-£800 earnings, they seam to love it, even though they can be called in to do a delivery in very unsocial hours of the day. so maybe going around your local haulage firms and making yourself known + hand out a few business cards may get you some work, if they don't know your there, they don't know they can ring you. give it a go, and i wish you good luck in your venture.
Q: self employed van driver?
how much would i be likely to pay as a van driver on £750 a week, including tax, insurance and all the other bits and bobs. Just a rough idea, and UK only please.
A: 40%
Q: Dog show people with large vans........?
I am looking for van insurance & most companies won't insure them.I want it insured for domestic use to carry my dogs to shows & not business use.Trying to explain that to insurance companies is a nightmare!It costs more if it's for business purposes.Does anyone else have a van & who are you insured with in the UK.
A: Try contacting an insurance broker - they have access to more schemes and can probably arrange cover with companies like Provident/ Nowich Union (NOT NU Direct).
Also you get professional advice and a local service and what more could you ask for?

My friend has broken down on his bike in strasbourg france. can anyone tell me the cheepest way to ge him and the bike back to the uk. he has tickets for P&O Calais to Dover, can he hire a van in france and drop it in england?

Q: "Global Courier Service"
A: looks like a scam.
Q: Me and some friends will be traveling from Northwest UK to Spain between the Middle of August....?
and the start of september. We are undecided of a route to take. We're thinking more along the coast of france keeping away from Paris. The heading across the boarder towards the east cost of Spain to end up in Barcelona. The main quetions that I have is... do you think it would work out cheaper purchasing a 12 seater Van rather than a couple of cars (as then all of us would be chipping in with the money for fuel and rental and Insurance, Toll Charges) instead of going down in convoy?
Plus also the cost of fuel by the time we arrive to our destination and then back to the UK. If there is anything else that would be worth knowing about i would be much greatful.... Oh before I forget... cash wise (incase of being pulled over for "on the spot fines") not that we are intending to get done on purpose.... how much would you safely take to pay them out.
The rest of regulations i've read about e.g. two hazard triangles, GB stick (none EU Reg) so on and so forth.
A: Good grief - how many questions!!!! :P
Ok let's take this step by step - I'm not sure if you mean you are going to
(a) hire a 12 seater or a hire couple of cars, or if you mean (b) hire a 12 seater or take (your own) couple of cars.
You'd have to phone around, but I would imagine the 12 seater would be cheaper on rental than a couple of cars. Of course petrol would be cheaper with one vehicle but with your own cars you avoid the rental - just call one of the big car hire places and let them do the maths for you
Regarding the total petrol charge, if you use the following route planner http://www.routenet.nl/ (click the English flag) you can determine by route and by car (fill in which one) how much the total cost will be in petrol - really handy tool for both routes and costs
Concerning driving in France & Spain, the AA have a great section on their site with general info for Europe and then a PDF file per country with the rules, regulations, tips etc etc. http://www.theaa.com/motoring_advice/overseas/index.html
So..... (phew) I've left you with a bit of homework to do, but if you check it in advance you can certainly save yourself some money
... and that just leaves me to wish you guys a really fun & safe trip!
Q: Uninsured driver claiming against me for injury! help! (uk)?
Back in November last year I was hit when pulling out from a junction.
Here is the story:
I was sat at a junction, in between the central reservation of a dual carriageway signalling to turn right. I had come to a complete stop and checked both ways. The lights were on green but as I was turning right obviously I had to stop and check for oncoming traffic.
It was a clear day, mid morning and not a lot of traffic about and I was in a transit van with a good view of the road. I also had my step-son of 7 with me sat in the passenger seat.
I checked once, then twice that it was clear and then proceeded to across the junction.
As I did so a car appeared travelling at least 60 plus mph to my left and also swerving across to the outer lane. I had no time to avoid the car and it collided with the van on the front left side sending it spinning a full 180 degrees.
A transit van weighes nearly 3 ton's and a citreon ax less than one.
work out the speed he was travelling!
The accident writ off the van and totally destroyed the the car and im very suprised the driver and his elderly passengers escaped mostly un-hurt.
The driver of the car claimed I pulled out on him but I am 200% certain the road was clear as was my step-son who didnt even need prompting when he said the other car was going really fast.
Anyhows, the police and ambulance were called and it turned out the guy only had a provisional licence.
The passenger were easily plus 80 and were by no means able to supervise a learner driver.
He had no L plates displayed.
He was obviously speeding at least twice the speed limit (30 mph).
Oh and it went on record that he only just passed his breatherlyser test!
I had borrowed a van (for personal use, on a day off) from work to pick up some bits for home and because the van belonged to my employer my insurance would not investigate or cover me for the incident as well as the fact that the other driver was not insured properley.
It was recorderd by my insurance as being hit by an un-insured driver and no more action was taken.
I assumed that was the end of the case untill I my current insurer sent me claim forms for the incident as the guy has put in a personal injury claim against me!
It has come straight from a solicitor which I assume is on a no-win no fee basis and also assume his supposed insurance at the time has refused to deal with as he was driving without supervision, l plates etc.
My question is does this guy have a leg to stand on seeing as though he wasnt legal on the road in the first place?
My two insurance companies, both the one at the time and the other one (i have two cars) will not have anything to do with this yet it has gone on my driver record as a claim against me!
Please help as other than shell out for a solicitor I dont know what to do!
Any help or advise will be greatley appreciated.
Cheers!
PS....
The van wasnt through work at all as I was not in work that day. Id made the mistake of stating that to my insurance company! I claimed on my own car insurance cos I wasnt in work.
Doh! Thats what you get for being honest?
A: You should pass any claims to your insurance company - that's what they're paid for.
