Tommy_G Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 i am buying a car relatively soon, however i hav a problem.i do not want to insure the car as i will only be driving it home and then hopefully selling it quickly, with maybe a few trips in between.now is it legal to drive the car with the fully comp insurance on my starlet alone? or must the other car have its own isurance?mthanks guys any help would be of much use ;)To Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletraje Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 if your policy states you can drive other cars third party only then yes... although be wary cause some state that the car must not belong to you, and be insured by someonethere is specialist companies that deal with short term insurance policies, look them up on google Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletraje Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 just checked your profile... your 19... you wont have the option of either of the above so i think you will have to take out a policy on the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 You could probably get temporary cover on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedFreak Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 As above, you arent old enough to cover it with comp insurance. Although your insurers might let you insure it as a 2nd car. You really need to call them up and ask them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starletraje Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 in response to your high tpft quote... i had a heart attack the other day when norwich union quoted me 500 quid for comprehensive, with business use and alloys declared. my renewal for tpft for 700 quid. no brainer.

SpeedFreak Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Its weird how it works out for some people. Everyone gets different quotes, even if they are the same age and everything.Just have to shop around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
