Hastings Direct.

But this should be applicable to other insurance providers because some people here have said their prices remained the same when they updated their licences. Just that they didn't mention the provider.

Thank you

Use both the provisional and Nigerian license to your advantage.

Use the below hack. In your case, first use the provisional, wait like a month (don't drive or get an accompanying driver) then update your details. In my case, I updated from provisional to full UK after 4 months and my price remained the same, I only paid £73 update fee.

Please which insurance company do you use?

Bourne007:
Might not be a scam.

Depends on the type of lease. In some cases, the private seller sells the car to offset the loan. Usually the buyer asks the seller how he intends to clear the finance so can buy the car.

The seller did not mention that the vehicle had outstanding finance or was on lease.

You can watch this video to learn more about the experience I mentioned. I am not prepared to deal with the stress that comes with ownership or the lack thereof.

I remember seeing a post by Lexusgs430 warning about scams on the marketplace when buying a used car. I had an experience where a private seller listed a vehicle for sale on Autotrader, claiming no damage (non-Cat S/C/D/N) or stolen history. However, the CARVERTICAL report showed that the car had an active lease. When I contacted the finance company, SANTANDER CONSUMER FINANCE, they advised me against buying the vehicle. I want to warn new migrants to be cautious of such scams. I had to lower my preferences and buy from Arnold Clark since I needed a car urgently for work.

KOVIC19COVID20:
Which of the licenses will you be using to drive?
You can drive with your Nigerian Licence for up to 12 months - effective from the 1st day you entered the UK.
You can only drive with a provisional licence if you are accompanied by a driver who posseses a full UK driving license, and has possessed that for at least 3 years.

The bolded makes absolute sense.
With a provisoonal licence, the risk of accident is lesser, because you are expected to driving accompanied by an experienced driver (Never alone).
With your foreign licence, you can drive (for up to 1 year) un-accompanied. The risk of accident is much greater - hence the higher insurance premium.

I arrived in the UK in September and will be driving alone. I will be using my Nigerian driver's license. I need to find a reasonably priced insurance company. Thank you

Hello House! I need assistance with my car insurance. I have received various quotes, which are pretty high and confusing. I currently hold both a UK Provisional Driving License and a Nigerian License, but I am uncertain which option is the best and most appropriate for me. I have noticed that the quotes I receive using my Provisional License are less than £2,000 per year, while those using my foreign license are over £3,000. I also hoped to get recommendations for insurance companies offering reasonable quotes. I appreciate your help!

Please note, nothing like international driver's license, what is recognised here is the Normal Nigeria Driver's license (was informed this by a police) and you can use it for 12 months from your date on UK entering.

Thank you

Can I drive in the UK for 12 months with only my Nigerian driver's license? Not the international driver's license, and how long will it take to get a full UK license

Iamblessed85:
My teeth is nothing to write home about especially the two front one. I noticed most women i have come across have flawless dentition and gum. I cant even laugh normally. Why is this?

File Photo Used for illustration

I was in a similar situation as yours but decided to get adult braces in 2019. The decision proved to be beneficial as it significantly improved my dental alignment. A particular big front tooth, which was earlier rotating and on the verge of falling out, became securely anchored during the orthodontics treatment.

Lasgidy1:
1. What is the minimum amount required for a start up?

You can start with 1pc @40k
Printer (sharp arm) @40k
Accessories @20k
The rest you will be added as the business progress

Lasgidy1:
2. Since every business is opened to risks, what is the risk inherent in this type of business?

The business is seasonal since you are operating in a school environment, which means that if they are on holiday or there is any form strike you will be at a loss.
Power Supply is essential to the running of your business, so if its not something that is readily available in your area then get an alternative and make sure you confirm that alternatives power source are allowed in the area as little children might come and embarrassed themselves not you...subtle
Student Union can affect the running of your business but there are ways of overcoming this.

Lasgidy1:
3. What are the sales peak periods?

The sales peak period is during printing of final projects, which requires you understanding your market and know when to act by offering flexible price... this makes students advertise your franchise to other students.

Lasgidy1:
4. Is it really lucrative?

Its lucurative if you have time and you are dedicated to what you do. You can do online registrations. To spice it up you can add binding to your service list (This require little time from you to learn how to bind "Hard and Soft" wink

as this where the real money is during peak period.

Lasgidy1:
5. Can a working class venture into this type of investment?

Yes a working class can, but you have to be disciplined in your time schedule. Make use of other peoples time in your business as you can't do everything alone.
