Japanese Import Car Insurance
Japanese Import Car Insurance Brokers - Japanese Import Car Insurance Specialists
StrikeEngine - Links to Japanese Import Car Insurance brokers and specialists in the UK. Japanese import car insurance for modified cars, tuned cars, drags cars, drift cars and ex Japanese tuner cars. All insurance companies listed are regulated by the Financial Services Authority. Cars imported from Japan are also referred to as Grey Imports in reference to the grey economy. This term refers to a car or item that has been imported into a country legally but has not with the agreement of the car/item manufacturer.  Japanese imports tend to be popular due to the fact that they usually have a higher specification and the fact that they tend to cost less than the domestic equivalent. Japanese import car insurance tends to be higher than insurance for domestic vehicles due to the impression that repair of the imported cars is more expensive as the parts are more expensive. With the popularity of Japanese imports into the UK reaching such high levels this problem has more or less been eliminated although a large number of insurance companies do not agree, which is why it is well worth consulting a Japanese import car specialist for a quote as well as the traditional insurance companies such as the AA and AXA for example.
