Returning Expat Insurance from Keith Michaels

Expat Returning to the UK

Returning home to the UK after living abroad often involves many complex procedures. Luckily, with Keith Michaels, your car insurance doesn’t have to be one of them. We have years of experience providing fair motor insurance for expatriate individuals.

Many expatriates returning to the UK have difficulties finding an insurance provider that accepts foreign no claims bonus (NCB). At Keith Michaels, we do not discriminate against the nationality of your NCB. We’ll transfer your international NCB (which must be translated to English) into UK NCB so you can get the no-claims discount you’ve earned.

Can I insure my UK car to drive in Europe as an expat?

What else do I need to know as an expat looking for car insurance?

When planning to move abroad, or moving back to the UK after expatriation, there are all sorts of admin-related questions you’re likely to have. Get your questions answered about all things car insurance with our expat car insurance FAQs.

How is my NCB affected by my living abroad?

While expatriated from the UK, if you have been driving abroad with insurance, at Keith Michaels we can take into account any foreign NCB you have accumulated. If you have not been driving abroad, your UK-gained NCB is still accepted as long as there has not been a break from driving of more than two years.

Should I keep my UK-based car insured while I am living abroad?

It is a good idea to keep you car at home insured while you are expatriated, because it could still be at risk of damage, fire, or thefts. Plus this means if you have any unexpected trips home to make, your car will be ready for you to drive without a second thought. Find out about non-UK resident car insurance from Keith Michaels.

Do I need a UK address to arrange car insurance for when I return to the UK?

In the UK, policy providers require drivers to have a UK residential address in order to be insured. If you are an expat returning to the UK who does not yet have a residential address, get in touch with our team at Keith Michaels to find out more about your options.
