What makes Dutch import vehicles different?
Dutch import vehicles often come with unique specifications and features that may differ from their UK counterparts. These differences can include left-hand drive configuration, different safety features, or performance modifications. Our team understands these distinctions and works with specialist insurers who appreciate the value and quality of Dutch imports.

- Different specifications from UK models – Dutch vehicles may have unique features or modifications that require specialist understanding
- Potentially higher repair costs – Parts may need to be sourced from the Netherlands or another EU country
