You do realise this is going to cost you a lot more money, money which could be spent on a "mazzive z'orst 4 the nu corsa".

Also you will be holding insurance on a car that you don't own or have any insurable interest on - which I seem to remember is fraud/against the law/going to cause bunnies to die.

Ive never just been emailed my insurance policy and told to print it out

all my certificate of insurance letters are stored in a folder incase i ever need them, be silly not to do this.

Adrian flux ask if you want them emailed to you, or if you'd prefer a paper copy. It's quite common.

Swiftcover don't even email it to you, you download a PDF from the website.

Managing to forget who you spent hundreds of pounds with a few months ago and then just going and getting a new policy? I really worry about young people these days, the fact some of them manage to tie their shoelaces let alone drive a car safely is nothing short of a miracle

Please don't base us all on this fool

Old fool, its 2011! Nike make shoes that can tie themselves now! and also cars can fly, dot matrix printers are the pinnacle of printing technology and hover-boards don't work on water

a lot of insurance companies work on automatic renewal, it would still be worth trying to find out

If you paid upfront and cancel/change you may be given a partial refund.

Also new Scirocco in 2 months time?

They will contact you at renewal time

He may just throw it away assuming it's junk mail or look like it's a quote when really at the bottom it'll say "If we do not hear from you we will charge your bank for the insurance renewal".

How do you get in the position to buy cars like that when you can't remember things like who you insure your car with or how to use 'in' to refer to a future month rather than 'on'?

Something of value was nicked, why don't you understand?

You don't know who you're insured with, you didn't keep the certificate of insurance and you don't keep your bank statements for any length of time. Well done, you deserve your username.

You should have a scheadual of insurance.

A schedule of insurance. It's a document you receive with a new policy.
