We offer affordable, comprehensive insurance for all types of Imported (grey) vehicles.

Imported cars are vehicles that are brought into Australia from other countries, such as Japan, Europe, or the USA. They are often unique in comparison to local models, offering unique shapes, engines, and limited edition models that sometimes were not received in the local Australian market.

There are different types of imported cars, such as parallel imports, personal imports, or grey imports. 

Many owners of grey imports travel limited distances. That makes them ideal candidates for Enthusiast Motor Insurance, where distance travelled is a major factor in determining if your car can be insured by us.

We cover modifications

We stand out from the crowd, proudly offering tailored coverage for your unique rides, modified vehicles, agreed value, choice of repairer, and salvage rights options.

At Enthusiast, we know how deeply you care and how you feel about your modified vehicles.

Drive with peace of mind, knowing your modified vehicle is covered with us.

We take pride in being a preferred choice for specialised motor insurance, offering tailored coverage for your distinctive cars. Together, we’ll establish a mutually agreed value, considering your modifications and unique features. This agreed value is crucial for custom or rare models, which can be worth above and beyond standard vehicles.

Drive with confidence, knowing that our tailored coverage backs your one-of-a-kind vehicle.

Choice of repairer

At Enthusiast, we recognise the dedication behind every modified vehicle owner.

In the unfortunate event of a claim, we allow you to use your own trusted repairer or we can connect you to one of our trusted repairers.

Enjoy the road, knowing that Enthusiast has your unique vehicle covered!

European cars

European Car Aficionados are celebrated for owning prestigious European marvels:  

The 2013 Porsche Cayman, meticulously designed, exudes class with its 2.7l flat-six engine and 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission. 

Meanwhile, the BMW M3 fuses traditional elegance and contemporary spirit, courtesy of its 4.0l V8 engine and 6-speed manual transmission. It’s truly an awe-inspiring pleasure to see these European jewels grace Australian roads on the occasional Sunday drives.

The RX7, is a marvel with its custom PWR intercooler and a striking carbon fibre touch evident in its intake manifold, cold air intake, and strut brace. Its custom fuel system ensures optimal performance at every curve and sprint.

The transformed S2000 showcases a thrilling Honda K24A-3 engine swap paired with a K20A head. Its look is accentuated by J’s racing, Advan, Voltex, and Mugen aero parts, and a breathtaking widebody conversion. Those Advan racing GT wheels complement its stature, while the tucked wiring harness ensures a seamless finish.

It’s a treat to spot these enthusiasts parading their JDMs.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got questions. Fire away, we love talking about all kinds of vehicles. But first these are questions we get all the time. For more information, please refer to our PDS.

How does a nominated driver policy work?
We know you trust the people you let drive your vehicles. That’s why our Declared Driver policy only covers the approved people who’ll get behind the wheel. It gives you a greater peace of mind and a better price.
Will we insure a modified vehicle?
Enthusiasts make everything better. So we make sure modified vehicles still get the coverage they deserve. To be covered, simply disclose all the modifications you’ve made. If they meet Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and/or the Australian Vehicle Standards Rules (AVSR) of your State or Territory of Australia, then we’re all good!
What are salvage rights?
If it’s a total loss, and it’s that precious to you, you don’t have to lose everything. If it’s over 30 years old, salvage rights are automatically included in your policy. If your vehicle is 15 years old or more, the choice is yours – salvage rights are optional. Check out the exact details in the Policy Disclosure Statement.
Who’ll handle my claim?
Real people, real Australian’s, real motor enthusiasts. They can handle any issues or claims claims via phone or email. They’re on-call Monday to Friday between 9am-5pm AEST. Or if you’re into DIY, download a claims form from our website and off you go.
