getting US insurance for UK registered vehicle.

We have now had prices back from 6 companies / agents that will offer vehicle insurance to drive in the US (including Canada & Mexico) for British citizen and a UK registered vehicle (1995 4x4 iveco).

We had prices back from the likes of 'RVExplorer' 'Thum' 'AIG' 'CAA' 'Alessie'
but without doubt the lowest price returned came from a company called "5th Avenue Insurance" lady there known as Norma Mouet

contact details :

Norma Mouet
5th Avenue Insurance
nmouet #at# 5thaveins.com
(619) 640-3130 phone
(619) 640-3120 fax
(619) 955-1274 direct

For our vehicle 12months cover comes in at about $572 (full comp) or $310 (liability only), next closest to this price was RVExplorer, but their price was still over $1000 all others coming in at about $1400.

Phil.

I've a bit more info from 5th Avenue Insurance. I'm trying to insure a UK registered motorhome, and Larry Groendyke at 5th Avenue was very helpful with the following information:

Progressive Insurance Company is who will write this policy (Progressive direct (800-776-4737)) or www.progressive.com. You need an address here in the states for Progressive to write you a policy. I only write in California and with out California address I can not write.

Larry gave me the address of an agent in Washington state where I have an address I can use:

The agent in that area is Sarah and she is with Peninsula Insurance Center Inc. 10364 Rhody Drive Chimacum, Washington 98325 phone: 360-385-4739. Her email address is: ssdpeninsctr@cablespeed.com.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
