What Makes Nissan Imports Different for insurance purposes?
Imported Nissans require specific insurance considerations due to their unique specifications. Grey imports come directly from the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) and weren’t originally built for UK roads, while parallel imports share similarities with UK models but originate from other markets.
The performance-focused Nissan Skyline GT-R, the drift-ready Silvia, or the powerful Nissan Z models demand particular attention when arranging insurance. These vehicles often feature technical specifications that differ significantly from UK versions, requiring specialist parts and technical expertise during repairs.
If you’re looking for broader protection for non-Nissan vehicles, our Japanese import car insurance options cover all makes and models from the Land of the Rising Sun.
Why Do I Need Specialist Nissan Import Insurance?
Standard insurance policies often fall short when covering imported Nissans. Here’s why dedicated import insurance matters:
- Parts availability challenges – JDM vehicles frequently require components not regularly stocked by UK suppliers
- Specialist repair requirements – Many standard garages lack familiarity with JDM specifications
- Value considerations – Imported models often carry different market values than their UK counterparts
- Regulatory knowledge – Understanding Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) requirements is essential
Nissan Import Insurance Cost & Coverage Options
The cost of insuring your imported Nissan depends on numerous factors. Your chosen model and its current market valuation significantly impact premiums, as do personal factors like your age and driving experience. Your claims history, accumulated no-claims bonus, residential location, and overnight parking arrangements all influence pricing.
While imported vehicles typically command higher premiums than standard UK models, our established relationships with specialist insurers enable us to secure competitive rates that recognise the true value of your Japanese import.
We offer three main coverage tiers for your imported Nissan. Comprehensive cover provides maximum protection, covering your vehicle, third-party damage, fire, and theft – particularly recommended for high-value imports like the GT-R or 370Z. Third Party, Fire and Theft offers middle-ground protection, covering damage to other vehicles plus protection if your Nissan is stolen or damaged by fire.
Third Party Only meets the minimum legal requirement, covering damage to other vehicles but not your own.

What Should I Consider When Insuring my Imported Nissan?
When arranging cover for your imported Nissan, several factors warrant careful consideration. Parts availability varies significantly between models – securing components for a rare S15 Silvia differs greatly from finding parts for a more common 350Z. Access to repair specialists who understand JDM vehicles is vital, as is agreed value coverage for rare or appreciating models.
If your vehicle features aftermarket modifications – common among import enthusiasts – ensure these are properly declared and covered.
Furthermore, specialist breakdown cover that understands the nuances of imported vehicles provides valuable peace of mind.
What Documentation Do I Need to Insure My Imported Nissan?
Insuring your imported Nissan requires specific documentation. You’ll need to provide your Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) certificate, vehicle registration documents (V5C), and evidence of the vehicle’s current market value. Import paperwork including customs declarations, a valid MOT certificate, and details of any modifications are also essential for accurate coverage.
Proper documentation ensures your policy accurately reflects your vehicle’s specifications and value, preventing potential issues during claims.
