$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.
