Insurance problem

posted 10 Jul 2009 12:31 by Ryan Carroll
I insured the vehicle a while ago straight after we got the civilian plates for it.  At the time I asked if I could add Ajay later and was told that I could.  However, when I phoned up recently to do this I was told he couldn't be added because he wasn't a UK resident.  I then spent about four hours ringing around other insurers and couldn't actually find any that would insure the combination of the unusual vehicle and the non-UK driver.  This is now a real problem for us as without Ajay on the insurance I will have to drive all the way to Russia myself.  We buy insurance for Russia at the border, so we should be OK from that point on.
 
I've decided not to worry about this for a little while.  I'm off to China on business on Monday and will just sort this out when I get back (I hope)!
