Good day Gents,

I'm looking for some advice please

I'm currently planning a tour of the US and South America in my 1990 Westy Atlantic. I plan to ship it from the UK to Baltimore, drive east to west, then pick up the Pan Am highway down through Mexico etc.

I can get the van to the US no problem, the sticking point at the moment is vehicle insurance and in particular the T25's age and the fact I'm a non-resident.

Would anyone know of an insurance company that maybe able to help?

Any help/ advice is gratefully received.

cheers
Rob

Hi Rob,

I shipped my vanagon to US (Southampton/Newark) for a few month road trip.
I got hard time to find an insurance and ended up with http://assist.travelguardworldwide.com/travelassis...254888.pdf
It's quite expensive as they don't take into account your track record.
Hint: Be careful to pay without notice, they will never ask for payment and then you are not covered.
