shelly_star Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hey Guys, my brother has gone out of the country and left this car behind, it's got no insurance on it, but road tax is until end of March and i was thinking of insuring it for a couple of months, but I cannot get it insured right as it's not under my name as registered owner and i cannot get my brother give permission to my insurance company as he's not in the UK. So there is no way in insuring it right?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Find youself some cover to drive your car third party only with entitlement to drive other vehicles (CIA, NFU Mutual, Quinn and a few others - it is a rare one to find though!) and you'd be allowed to drive it. Quite a few people I know have there tiny engined car at home insured TPO then they'll drive "Mummys" or "Daddys" performance car most of the time LOL But being as it is actually your brothers car and not yours registered in someone else name then its perfectly legal.

hill_bill10 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 unfortunatly that wont work as the car isnt insured at all. in order to be covered 3rd party on another vehicle, that vehicle needs someone to be insuring it, and as its not got any insurance it wont be legal.

Guest skyinsurance Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 You'll need to change the ownership/registered over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ep82_girl Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 This.I'm with Quinn Direct and i can drive anyone else's car as long as the car is insured and have their consent but only third party.you sure??? thought you had to be over 25 for this and also pay extra on the insurance??xxx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andyjdm Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 you sure??? thought you had to be over 25 for this and also pay extra on the insurance??xxxSome companies will have this on your policy anyway, my sister was 18 and had just passed her test when she insured her car, fully comp with that as a benefit of the policy was still cheaper than my insurance as a 22 year old guy, 4 years ncb and not being allowed to drive other vehicles because im under 25!If i go with Quinn i could get that benefit but i'd be paying double what i pay elsewhere.Some companies if you phoned them up and explained the situation should allow you to insure the car as its a family member who owns it, a friend of mine insures his car himself however his dad went and did the sale and put his details on the V5C by accident yet the cars insured by his son direct.I also insured the car registered to my sister for a month or 2 before she passed her test as my car was off the road, i did so with chris knott.Its all down to the insurance companies how they'll deal with it and what benefits you get.
