Thanks for the advice some useful pointers - comparison sites were £250 more!

Just had a renewal quote from Safeguard which is nearly double last year with no changes/ claims - £601! Are others finding similar? Sixty three years, no medical issues and live Essex /London borders inc. 9 years NCD and 90 days EU travel. Bonkers!

Hi all I am due to drive through France to Spain in a few weeks. With a “grey” import the emissions information is missing from the V5. The car is a 3l V6. My concern is there are an increasing number of EU cities requiring evidence of CO2 emissions/ Euro standard, without which you can incur quite large fines (Crit Air = 68 euros minimum in France) if you drive through the zone. My car is ULEZ compliant in both London and Bristol. Unfortunately TFL does not provide any info on how they have assessed the emissions standard. I am also hesitant to enquire in case it is an error, particularly as originally the car was not considered compliant. In an attempt to get some evidence of the emissions standard, so I can obtain a European low emission zone classification, I have contacted various organisations. Toyota UK has advised that they will not provide a Certificate of Conformity for a Japanese car that is not designed for the UK market. They instead directed me to the individual Vehicle Approval Scheme (IVA) run by the Government. A very helpful member of staff advised that the IVA does not test for emissions standards and suggested I seek a private test, which could cost around £3k, subject to establishing what the DVLA requirements are to amend the classification on the V5. A private test is not an option for me. So it looks like I will have to avoid the major cities and the add extra miles and time to my journey. Has anyone else managed to get any further than me?
