Kirsty M Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hi Folks, I'm heading back to the UK in 6 weeks. I've just got my no claims certificate from my car insurer here in Oz. My dad just collected a car for me and I need to sort out car insurance for it before the 5 day complimentary inurance runs out. I've been on Confused.com and got quotes but I'll need to call around to see who will accept the Oz certificate. Can anyone point me in the right direction with companies that might accept it? Also, in a really shitty twist of fate, I reveresed out of my driveway into a parked car today...so will my certificate be checked out in the UK or will they accept it at face value? I've never had an accident in all my years driving....sods law!!! No moral lectures thanks :wink::wink: Tks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chris955 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 We have 2 seperate policies for our cars and neither company wanted to see the proof but accepted the full period of no claims. One is Co op Eco Insurance, cant remember the other one off hand. All the companies I asked would accept the no claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIDNINN Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hi...We were with Allianz in Oz .had no claims .....understood they would honour our no claims in the UK...but no they did not want to know...you will find if you have been out of UK as we had for 8 yrs it is very difficult to find cover ...most companies don't want to know and if they do it is going to cost you thats from our experience but good luck trying....

Guest chris955 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 We were away 12 years and had no problem at all getting cover with the full no claims. It certainly is not true to say most companies dont want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest41161 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Aviva are another company who accept Oz no claims, and have never asked to see my certificate! And I was away 9 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirsty M Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 I've managed to get cover. I did find initially that lots of companies weren't interested but I used comparethemarket.com and they allow you to tick a box for overseas no claims, and that saves all the phoning around being told "NO". The other compare websites don't have that option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
