Car Insurance For Imported Cars Guide
One of the most important things to consider is arranging import car insurance for your overseas vehicle.
Imported vehicles can often be viewed as a higher risk on Australian roads, leading to potentially elevated insurance premiums compared to domestic vehicles.
Additionally, some insurance companies won’t cover vehicles that were bought outside of Australia, necessitating the search for a specialty vehicle insurer.

Find suitable insurance provider
It’s crucial to understand that imported vehicle insurance is not the same as standard vehicle insurance for a vehicle that has been produced abroad and subsequently brought into Australia.
With the closure of Australia’s last vehicle manufacturing plant in 2017, nearly all new vehicles acquired in Australia post that year were made overseas and then imported and sold locally.
However, in the insurance domain, the term ‘imported vehicle’ typically pertains to a vehicle bought from an overseas seller and transported into Australia.
