Could I insure an imported Jimny?

Hi,

I have a question in relation to the new Suzuki Jimny. From what I gather it is not being sold in Ireland for emissions reasons. However, if you were to import one from the UK and pay VRT etc would you be able to get Irish insurance? Is it road legal and all that?

Regards,

Robert, Cork

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?
