Why do I need specialist insurance for my Italian import?
Standard UK car insurance policies typically don’t provide adequate coverage for Italian imported vehicles. When you import a car from Italy, you’ll need specialist imported car insurance because:
- Insurance in Italy differs from UK requirements – Italian vehicles often have unique specifications requiring specialist understanding
- Repair costs can be higher – Parts may need sourcing from Italy or other EU countries
- Valuation considerations vary – The market value of Italian imports can differ significantly from UK models
- Registration requirements are specific – Vehicles must comply with both European Union and UK regulations
