Hi there people..

quick question about insurance.

Me and my mates are organizing alittle trip to altontowers alittle later on in the summer... me and the gf will be taking her car as mines not too nice to drive really lol.. and its a fair way so could do with sharing the driving.

anyway.. i need to be insured for the day on her car.. its a mk3 clio 1.2 16v but is pretty much brand new (8 weeks or so)

i looked at day insure and you have to have been driving over a year.. which i aint just yet :( only 8 months.. so cant use that.

what other options do i have? :)

im insured with NUD on my car fully comp (but cant drive other cars TP) and ill be 22 when we go if that helps :)

help me you knowledgeable people :D

thanking you
 
Your G/F will need to ring up her car insurers and add you onto the car for the day. You might find out that the minimum period for them to insure you on the car for is a week though. Shouldn't cost any more than £15 or £20 I wouldn't have thought.

Usually around 20-40 but you can rarley get a day usually a week or fortnight..

has been when I've got insuraed on my parents..
 
Dayinsure?

Edit: Just re-read the post and saw its no good.

Cheapest way is to add yourself on the insurance. Cost me £40 to get insured on my GF's old corsa for 10 days. But i had a fairly recent claim at that point.

If the car's worth less than yours, you might be able to add it onto your own insurance. Not too sure about that, only did it once to drive an old 205.

for the week or fortnight. All depends who you'r insured with. To what the minimum insurance time is.

yeah her cars probs worth about £5k-£6k more than mine lol..

ill get onto her about calling her insurance and getting me added for the period i need :)

thanks for the input guys :D much appriciated :cool:
 
i remember i had to do this for my brothers car and they wanted 28 quid for "admin fee's" and i think it was like 25 quid for a week on it. But we managed to make them drop the admin fee's to about £5 by just haggling.
 
When I was insured with NU they let me add my best mate free of charge for the rest of my policy - based purely on the fact that he doesn't live at my address, and has his own car to use. :)
 
I'm going on a similar trip this weekend and wanted to use my dads mondy (as he has great satnav :cool:) He phoned up his insurance company (DL) and i was put on as a named driver for a week. It cost him(me) £14.

Ask your gf to do something similar, shouldnt cost you too much for a week.

(I'm 22, driving 1 year with 1year ncb)
