Japanese Import Car Insurance from Keith Michaels
You can have a hard time obtaining Japanese import car insurance from regular insurance providers; they will charge you high premiums and are prone to providing a sub-standard service.
Keith Michaels is recognised as one of the UK’s leading providers of both Japanese import car insurance and Grey import car insurance. We’ve been providing policies for the last 30 years – we pride ourselves on finding you the best deal on the market by leveraging our established industry standing to get you the best quote.
Japanese Import Cars We Cover
We are able to provide insurance to a wide range of Japanese import cars, ranging from iconic high performance models to Japanese classic cars. The following are a few of the most popular makes and models we insure:
Grey Import Car Insurance
Grey imports are built outside of the EU and therefore do not have to conform to European build standards. These cars will have to pass a Single Vehicle Approval (SVA) test to ensure they are road worthy in the UK. Grey imports, from Japan specifically, will often be far more powerful than their European equivalents, making them an attractive prospect. We specialise in securing insurance for Grey imports with industry-leading policies.
Have a UK Model?
Having been at the forefront of Japanese car insurance for 30 years, our services aren’t limited to imports. We can arrange car insurance for UK models as well as imports.

Japanese Import & Insurance FAQs
Are Japanese import cars legal in the UK?
Yes, Japanese import cars are legal in the UK. But you’ll need to ensure you take the right steps to stay compliant. This includes declaring your new import, paying the necessary charges, undergoing testing and registering and taxing your vehicle.
Does Japanese import insurance cover modified cars?
Many of the Japanese imports we insure are modified in some way. As specialists in modified car insurance, we can ensure that your vehicle gets the most affordable option regardless of whether it’s stock or modified.
Is Japanese import car insurance expensive?
As Japanese imports often have higher specifications and more unusual parts to source within the UK, car insurance can bring higher insurance premiums, which is why you should consider a specialist insurance broker like Keith Michaels. At Keith Michaels, we pride ourselves on providing affordable policies so you can insure your most prized possession, no matter where it’s from.
How can I reduce the cost of modified car insurance?
You can save money on your car insurance, even if your car’s a Japanese import. Discounts on your policy can apply for:
- Secure overnight storage
- Reduced mileage
- If your vehicle is a 2nd or 3rd car
- Membership of an owners club
- Annual policy payments (instead of monthly)
Why consider a Japanese import car?
By the time a Japanese car has reached the international market from Japan, its value has depreciated considerably. The higher specs and low mileage of Japanese cars make them a bargain for the savvy buyer. Like the UK, Japan drives on the left making right hand drive cars the norm in the export market.
