How much would a new driver expect to pay for their car insurance (UK)?

We Answered:

If you want an accurate quote then you'll need to enter an address I'm affraid.

The quote will take the postcode into account and this can impact the premium significantly.

You could always enter some details close to yours but not exact. Some companies will hound you as soon as you get a quote, especially off the price comparison websites.

I agree with the set aside a day for quotes. The price comparison websites make it a bit easier, but not all companies are listed on them and any quote given needs to be taken with a pinch of salt as whenever I've used them the premium has gone up when I finalise the quote for some aspect that the price comparison website doesn't take into account.

Some of the best companies aren't listed so you need to go to them directly.

I'd imagine £1000 to £1500 a year for a standard Clio or Corsa with say a 1.0 or 1.2 engine.

Higher spec or any modifications would put the price up significantly.

What UK car insurance companies will consider my Canadian driving experience?

We Answered:

Try Liverpool Victoria - they are based in Bournemouth??

You can get a quote on the web, but in your instance I would call them and discuss your situation, I even got an introductory 1 year no claims bonus.

Their number is - 0870 6004528

And good luck.

Jamie Said:

If I do not have a UK car insurance policy for over two years, do I lose all of my no claims discount?

We Answered:

yes this is right the NCB lasts for two years after that it is back to square one I know this to be a fact it happened to me
it would be advantageous for you to buy a small car worth a couple of hundred and park it up somewhere safe and take out third party insurance for the two years you are away

Justin Said:

What UK car insurance provider will give me credit for years driving with a US license?

We Answered:

probably not as you'll have been driving on the other side of the road. Try searching for specialist insurance compaines. its unfortunate that you cant use a foreign licence in the uk for more than 1 year. maybe sites like moneysupermarket.com or confused.com could help
