Import proceedure

quon

Hi,

Right, I'm looking to import a motor (from Japan) and need to find out the procedure of getting it from Dublin port to the VRO. I've rung several insurance companies and no one would quote me temporary insurance to drive it up to Santry.

I'm thinking of getting a tow truck to haul it up there, any idea of the cost of that?

Has anyone else had this issue and if so, what did you do in that situation?

Anyone have any other ideas?

Cheers,

quon.

these people quote anything no matter how insane

Seperate

To tow it from port to an address would typicaly be 100eur + VAT

I'm importing a uk car. I simply switched my insurance over to the uk reg but I won't get a disc until I VRT it.

Uk car is different to japanese car as they dont come with plates as far as i know.

yip no plates but your legally covered to drive the car for 24hrs in ireland(you can get insurance an cars chassis number as far as i remember without plates for the 24hrs)
