$20,000 is GBP 9,890 - so roughly 7% of the cost. Not bad.

Is VAT charged on insurance?

What about if you crash it, are held up at gunpoint, hit another vehicle or are struck by a falling tree etc?

Cheers, Darrin

Tax is included in the price quoted.

Insurance I got the quote for is just fire and theft, so not including accidental damage caused by crashing etc. If we're held up at gunpoint and they take the truck I would hope that would be covered as theft.

If that terrible scenario was to happen, I doubt very much the insurance would cover it as that would probably come under a 'civil unrest' clause or something of the like-
Read the fine print or better still, the missing print...
As it says on $ bills -'In God we trust', anything/one else....check carefully and whatever you agree, get it in writing and in detail.

Mike also got back to me with this:

Dear Mr du Plessis,

Thank you for your e mail below and for returning the completed quotation form.

The 2 quotations are as follows: -

Cover Accidental Damage Fire & Theft risks only

Geographical area Worldwide (Excluding USA & Canada)

Drivers Named aged 25 years or over with 2 years experience

Policy excess £250.00 in respect of each and every loss

Main exclusions Third Party Liability cover. Vehicle contents

Premiums 4 months cover £1047.90. 12 months cover £1814.40.


I think it's a bot steep, so I'll try to get local Insurance agencies again. Tough Stuff will do to Kenya and South of Equator for half that with some seriously good benefits.
