Help with Insurance (shipping from Toronto, Canada to Norway)
I received this unfortunate reply from my insurance company today and I was really curious as how to navigate the insurance portion of the shipment and driving through Europe, middle east, and Russia.
"once a car leaves North America it can no longer be insured by us ( or any other North American insurance company that I’m aware of). The only people I’ve known who have shipped a car to Europe have done so because they are moving there. You would face several hurdles: 1) the cost of shipping and insuring the car as cargo 2) registering the car in a European country and getting insurance there- a car has to be registered and insured in the same place. Some companies like Mercedes and Porsche offer a European purchase and delivery program, but that is based on buying one of their cars brand new-obviously very expensive. The only option really, is to rent a car once you are in Europe. I have done it many times and always use Sixt rent a car. Good rates and decent cars. They may have restrictions on which countries you can drive to as well , but he should check them out. "
There has to be a way to get insurance for my vehicle - I'm sure other members have solved this issue somehow already.
