New Driver Insurance Help

Hi,
I have held a non-eu licence for almost 9 years and have moved to Uk a couple of years back. I was allowed to drive on my original licence for a year although I didn't get a car but now had to take a full GB licence ( theory and practical test) . I am now planning to buy a car but the insurance quote is coming extremely high ( 1600-1700 £'s on all comparison sites)
. I am choosing a small car like ford focus 2000 model.
Is there anyway I can show the non-eu driving experience to reduce the premium ?
Thanks,
Puneet

A specialist broker or insurer may take this into account, but you won't get a huge discount. What country did you move from?0

If you can obtain written confirmation in English from your Indian Insurer that shows you have had insurance within the last three years and confirms youn held insurance for 1 year or more then Norwich Union will allow this as a no claims bonus. Speak to a local broker as they can direct you0
