Just incase anyone on here has done something similar.....

I need Insurance for UK vehicle / residents in Canada / USA.

At the moment nobody will insure me for under $4000

The only way I may be able to get a better deal or insurance at all is to swap my UK licence to a Canadian one (this is possible as the legislation exists) and put the vehicle on Canadian plates (Customs are happy to allow this).

If anyone has any other solutions or knows of any other companies that could help id love to know!!!!

Thanks Smile

I insured my vanagon, french licence plates, for a temporary stay in USA/Canada.
The price was quite high since I had no record in US, but far less than $4000.
The insurance company is: http://assist.travelguardworldwide.com/relocation

Officially given up, tried over 50 companies. I honestly believe insurance in Canada and USA for a UK vintage vehicle is an impossibility unless you permanently import or are becoming a citizen of the country.

Did you tried Travelguard ?
It worked for me, two month stay, temporary import, French Citizen. French licence plates.

Yes, they advised they could do third party liability only on such a policy. But then said no they can't help me Sad
