Insuring to drive in US

[powerstroke]

Anyone know if a uk licence holder could get a truck insured to use for a few monthes in the US to travel round in before shiping it to the UK ???? thanks guys...

Only if you've got an address you can register it to.

In other words, highly unlikely unless you've got relatives out there.

Thanks Roo, I do have family out there, sadly there was a fall out so lost touch with aunty and my cousins,

are you trying to register the vehicle here or just drive a vehicle in the US?

No I was thinking buying a new to me truck and doing a little road trip before taking it to the shippers... Im ok about how to import and reg here, not difficult just expensive!!! , Thanks for the replies

Had a similar problem when I shipped my Corvette to the US for a three month holiday. I had no contacts with a US address but managed to get insurance with AIU North America Inc.
600 King Street,
2nd Floor AIUX
Delaware 19801
You could also try Grundy Worldwide in Philadelphia (got that via a thread on TVR in US)

Just call an insurance company and give them your home address, but let them know that you want insurance for the state you will be registering it in, you can receive your proof of insurance (or temporary proof of insurance) by fax or email. when you register the vehicle, you should be able to do the same, if not get a PO box

pm me if you still need this
I spent hundreds of hours on the phone to get a car insured the biggest problem was not having a US licence but in the end I did find one insurer that would help.
