Re: Insurance
Make sure you bring proof of no claims from home, most of the insurance companies here will accept it.
With full no claims I find insurance cheaper than the UK, which is a wonder given the standard of driving and lack of driving standards. Typically here it is 4% of the value of the car (before no claims) but it goes up for sports cars and, depending on the company, for 4x4s. That is for fully comprehensive. I am with Norwich Union (now Axa) and thought it was worth paying a bit more for a company whose offices I could find and whose literature I could understand. Plus, most of the people there speak really good English. I've had a couple of claims which weren't my fault and both were quickly delt with.

Re: Insurance
We're also with Axa.
They are easy to locate... easy to understand.
Great service, as stated above.
The cheaper car you drive, the cheaper your insurance gets.
Love it.
