Auto Insurance Question (foreign driver)
 

I've done some searching and found this question asked a few years back and
I'm wondering if anything has changed with insurance companies.

I have a UK drivers licence (which I've had for 10yrs, clean record etc).
I'm going to be in the US for a year. I've just bought a car and I'm finding
it difficult to get auto insurance here (with the foreign licence). The only
companies that will give me quotes are Progressive and GMAC. Both companies
gave me rates of around $2500 / year on a standard v6 Mustang.

Apparently the high rate is because I have no credit history in the US (why
that affects car insurance rates, I don't know?), no driving record here
(even though I have brought a copy with me) and because I've never held auto
insurance prior here (again, I have a car in the UK which is still currently
insured).

Can anyone recommend any auto insurance companies which would take a foreign
licence and quote favourably?

Thanks
