How can I insure my urquattro???

[Greg_S]

I agree with fatty, A Flux are normally very good with modified and unusual stuff, also try Chris Knott as they now do a deal through Audi Owners Club (www.audifans.net)

Currently insured with A Flux but was insured with chris knott a few years back on my cavalier

Do they give you a reason why they wont insure you? at least you would have something to work with.

A bit crafty, but you should have a 10-day grace period when you buy an insurance premium. You could go with a super-high quote, as long as you have the money to put down and pay for it, and then be able to cancel it for a full refund within 10 days! Just don't make a claim in that time...then you can put it forward for registration and cancel the policy

Rex, Fristly sounds like a great ur I have mine insured with Carole nash, they were very helpfull and gave me a very good aggred value.

It might be worth you posting a thread on www.quattroforum.com someone on there is bound to have the answer.

Best of luck and looking forward to see you driving it around the local area

Anyone with a traders policy can register that car. However it would have to be registered in their name and then transferred into yours once the registration docs come through.
If you get stuck, give me a shout

Rex you can always ship the car back to NZ. I will happily look after it for you and agree to 6000 km only per year....

Thanks for all the advice guys!
It would appear that the refusal is partially based on my origin!Im from NZ and do not have a UK drivers licence,therefore I am discriminated against!If I get a UK licence,I lose my NZ licence.My wife and I will only be in the UK for another year,so that is not an option.I am also refused because I do not have any no claims bonus in the UK.Hell,Ive only been here 6 months!
Since insurance is compulsory here,I can not see why insurance companies are not required by law to supply insurance to any applicant at a fair and equitable cost(at a third party level).If it wasnt compulsory,as in NZ,I could understand refusals.IMO,compulsory insurance should not be a business,it should be available to all.At the moment,the car insurance industry is rife with discrimination!
Looking at the EU community rules,it would appear that I can insure my car in any of the member states,regardless of being a resident or not.Interesting,since we will be going to Italy in a year.
When I cool down,maybe I will see things a little differently!

Why don't you get an international coverage policy arranged from NZ>>?

This will mean your insured wherever you travel to? Im sure this is possible as a friend has done a similiar thing whos gone travelling round the world in a camper van!!!

I've got my ur with Carole Nash, classic policy, and its modified.

Your right this country (treasure island) takes the pi$$ i'm getting pretty fed up with it too, we need a change of goverment at the very least.... heavy i know but we really are getting it wrong.... like you need a risk assesment from the local Council to walk in the New Forest.... god help us!

Thanks for the further contacts above above guys,but I dont get past the first page!!I dont have any UK no claims bonus,so get promptly refused!
This has become absolutey ridiculous!Insurance is compulsory,but I cant get it!!!
The mind boggles!

Hi
all you do is trade your nz licence for the uk one , then report your nz licence lost
and they will issue you with a new nz licence in nz you dont lost it & it is far easyer in Europe with a uk licence this what i did
