Hi, I'm sorry, I know these threads must get repetitive. I promise I have had a trawl through this site - but I didn't see exactly what I was searching for.
We're newish to the UK, and looking to travel for 6-8 months next year through Europe. I'm a British citizen (dual), and have been a resident here in London for 12 months. I (will) have a UK drivers license.
I'm soon to be 35, with 'lifetime rating 1' insurance from Australia, but never had insurance in UK. Do many companies accept this non-UK no-claim insurance history?
I was hoping to buy a LHD, as we plan to spend the majority of our time in Europe. I'm assuming this will affect things greatly?
What about body type, or engine type? Much difference to premiums?
Also, we live in South London (SW9), and would have to park on the street. Again, I assume this makes a big difference? Does having an alarm/immobiliser do much to premiums?
For reference, we're looking at spending £6-8k on an older (1990s) 3-4 birth campervan (with bathroom).
