Due to arrive in England in 10 days, thought I'd need some transport to get to the meetings. Bought a car, with a guaranteed buy back in 4 months - a good deal I thought. Then tried to insure it! Prices not bad, but tried to pay. First will not accept non UK credit card - "give the money to someone in the country & get them to pay for you". Next, ID - got to have proof of residence - copy of utility bill, copy of tenancy agreement, a bit hard when we're staying in a friend's house for no charge. I said I'm not emigrating, only staying 4 months, and I will be paying the total up front, not time payment. Besides, the car is worth not much more than the premium, and with excesses counted in, I would get not much back if I wrecked it. After all this, plus a phone call from Australia lasting an hour, I may have to put the nice little car up for sale, and go rent something.
Very frustrating!
