Any high-performance insurance specialists?

Hi,

I’m planning to buy a Jaguar F-Type R (5.0-litre V8) and shopping around for insurance. So far all insurers including my current insurer refused to quote me because of the engine size; is there any insurer out there that specialises in high performance cars?

Many thanks!

Can I insure a van for private use?

Hi,

I want to buy a 141-reg Ford Focus van and I will only use it privately. Can I insure it privately? Even though it's a van I don't have a company or VAT number. It's a 1.6 diesel.

What's up with insurance on my Citroen C4?

Hi, my wife just bought a Citroen C4; it is a great car to drive, but when time came to insure the car it went up €280 on last year's insurance on a 2007 Nissan Almera. Both cars are in Group 15 and Citroen C4 is rated as a safer car. Are we missing something here about the C4?

Thank you

I want to insure a crew cab privately. Help!

I have a crew cab. I don't have a business so I am trying to insure it for social and domenstic use only, but I am having trouble getting insurance. Insurers won't look at commercial vehicles for private use. Any companies willing to take me on?

Insurance advice for this immigrant please.

I am buying my first car in Ireland. I have driven for many years in Canada. What can I expect to pay in car insurance rates in Ireland? What is the criteria that insurance companies use to determine the rates? I am 65 years old, have an excellent driving record and plan to buy a 2013 Nissan Note.

Please advise.
