Dont recommend tempcover as it was £25 more for my brother on my mini. Forget who we went with now

Unfortunately we don't do this on our scheme.

I did use tempcover when I went to get mine. Id recommend them

Is it legal to take this cover out even though the car I'm picking up is not mine?

[minidave1991-89]

Yes it is legal, i just got 2 weeks cover on my brothers car through day insure cost me £230 but that's because of being 21. 

AVOID SWINTON! I rang them for a 7 day free insurance they offer...load of BS, rude, unhelpful, patronizing foreigner on the other side of the phone.

Thanks for help, as I'am insuring the car for 1 day, i will be taking it off the road afterwards so i will have to sorn the car? How do i do this if i have just purchased the car?

thanks.

thanks.

how much tax is left on the car? If its not much as long as the car is kept on private land ( your driveway) then once the tax has nearly ran out you will get a letter through to re-tax your car and from there you can sorn it online:p

Hi it runs out october so quite alot left on really. Apparently because i'm not yet the registerd keeper i cannot make a sorn online.

You can do it online. You may need the V5 reference number to do it though so when you sign the paper work just make a note of the numbers on the front cover of it. They may be on the green slip you get but I'm not sure.

 

I did it online when I bought my micra for my uni project. I explained what I was buying the car for to the guy I bought it off and he gave me a Photostat of the V5 document so I had all the information.

 

I can't remember who I insured it with.

 

Just beware though. Your excess is very high. Mine was something like 2 grand but then it only cost me £25 for the day to insure it.

Aviva do it

I found it was very expensive until 25 or over , some places wouldn't insure me on temp,
