Re: Vehicle insurance in NZ:
We have just got ourselves a cheeky little Rav4 4wd 1994 and it cost us £508.20 for the pair of us (Both 27) fully comp! We were very pleased with that.
Could someone explain the whole UK - Kiwi license thingy fully so we can get on with it?
Thanks all.
PS. Just experienced coming from South Auckland through the city at rush hour, THAT SUCKED!!! And it raining loads! But still luvin it!

You then have a basic eye test, they take your photo, you pay a fee (about $80 if I recall correctly) and a shiny New Zealand licence arrives in the post a few days later.

Re: Vehicle insurance in NZ:
It's soooo easy, took me about five mins max and I was turning the card over looking for more questions cos I just didn't believe that's all you had to do
