Of all the people driving cars on the road there are only a small number who really appreciate what it is they are doing and care passionately about the car they drive. This group of passionate enthusiasts will search across the globe for the perfect vehicle and when they find it spare no expense to import and modify it for local use. They rely on import car insurance to protect their investment.

Car insurance is a tricky industry. There are hundreds of different types of policies. For the mainstream motorist, this is confusing enough. For the car enthusiast it is downright frustrating. Very few of the big insurance companies cater to their particular passions. However, there are a number of boutique specialist car insurers who are taking the initiative and crafting policies aimed at the particular needs of enthusiasts.

Boutique car insurance agencies that deal with motoring enthusiasts on a daily basis know the long and complicated process of importation well. They understand you will have spent a long time negotiating the purchase in a foreign country. They know you’ve dealt with freighters, customs agencies, duties, taxes and modifications to get your car on the road at home. Rather than being scared off by this complexity they have processes for quoting on import car insurance that is tailored to this process.

Specialist imported car insurers know the pains you’ve taken to transport your car from overseas. They know you wouldn’t go to such effort if you weren’t passionate and they understand you won’t be satisfied if (touch wood) your car was involved in an accident or affected by fire, theft or wear and tear.

The life of a car enthusiast involves more than just driving from A to B on a daily basis. Some imported and specialist cars may only be used occasionally. Some are restored for shows and special events. All of these different uses should be discussed with your specialist insurer so they can tailor a policy to your needs. This is the big difference when dealing with a boutique agency. You’re not buying off the rack insurance.

A personally imported car is one of a kind. Chances are there is nothing like it you’re ever going to see. You’ll be the envy of your friends and family. But you know the pain and stress of the process and understand the worry of driving a rare car. Make sure you can get a good night’s sleep by investing in specialized import car insurance.
