I’m an American in Victoria, Australia on a tourist visa. I’ve been driving in the states for 18 years and have a perfect (yes, perfect) driving record. I’m looking to buy a car in the coming weeks, a 1990-95 Toyota 4Runner to be exact. The car will not cost more than 00 AUD and will not be modified in any way. I’m looking for an company that can offer a reasonably priced comprehensive plan. I intend to be in Australia for at least 10 more months and I do hold an international driving permit.

    Definitely check with RACV as they tend to be very good and cheap. AAMI also offers competitive rates. Most of the car insurance web sites can give you a quote online so you know what figure you’re looking at before purchasing the insurance.

    When I signed up for car insurance, I was asked for my Australian license number, so there’s a chance you may need to get an Australian license.
