Plenty of fellow Europeans will be able to give you chapter and verse on bringing a vehicle from Europe to South America. They are the experts. I preferred to buy my vehicles already in South America to save all the hassles, although admittedly, it does involve a separate set of hassles, but far less cost.

You can get one insurance ;policy that covers Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil. It is not a comprehensive cover for your own vehicle, but just covers liability to others if you are involved in a crash. If you are driving an expensive vehicle you will probably want to arrange all insurances before you ship the vehicle. I doubt whether the shippers will carry any liability for what happens on board so ...

I got mine from Klaus at info@abgefahren.info who can arrange it all by email provided you can send him scans of all required documents. People either love his service, or hate it, but I appreciate that I can land in SA with insurance in effect and can renew it by email and pay for it via paypal. It is convenient and reasonably priced. If you do it before you leave home you can pay for it via German bank transfer.

Obviously I am self insuring for damage to my own vehicle - as do many travellers simply because the cost of comprehensive insurance is very high or unobtainable.

The alternative is to undergo what we had to in Peru (because Klaus' doesn't cover Peru. Drive for some hours in hostile territory (meaning police more than happy to fine you for driving without insurance) to get to a city with an agency and then negotiate the city centre in a vehicle just about as wide as the streets.

Some countries you can buy it at the border, but of course it just adds another layer to the border crossing procedures that you will wish you could do without.
