When purchasing an imported car through an agency, I’m unsure how to pay for the insurance. Should I handle it myself or entrust it to the agency? I’m also wondering if imported car insurance premiums are higher than those for domestic cars. The best answer indicates that you can handle it yourself or entrust it to the agency. If handling it yourself, be prepared with documents and consider various channels for insurance. Compulsory traffic accident liability insurance is mandatory, while commercial insurance can be chosen as needed. Due to high repair costs for imported cars, premiums may be higher. If entrusting an agency, choose a good one and clarify responsibilities.
Who should I find to act as an agent to buy car insurance for a parallel import car, does anyone know?
Resolved
I just bought a parallel import car, and I have never bought car insurance for this type of car before. I heard that acting as an agent to buy car insurance would be much more convenient, but I don't know who to find. Should I find the car dealer or a specialized car insurance agency? Are there any reliable channels recommended? I hope experienced friends can share, so I can avoid detours.
