Illustration for: Can I bring my own foreign-registered car to Britain?
Short answerYes in many circumstances, but you must meet the rules for bringing a vehicle into the UK and have valid insurance that applies here.

What you need to know

GOV.UK provides separate guidance on bringing vehicles to the UK. Proof-of-insurance requirements vary according to where the policy was issued.

A UK temporary policy designed for borrowing a UK vehicle may not be the right product for an imported or foreign-registered vehicle.

Important for this situation

The current Ramasis temporary acceptance criteria exclude vehicles being imported into the UK during the period of cover.

Need short-term car insurance?

If you are eligible and need temporary cover, you can compare available short-term insurance quotes and check the territorial limits of the policy offered before you buy.
