I am after temporary car insurance, just for 23 days whilst I sell a car. I am getting some ridiculous quotes of £300! Can anyone offer some advice on getting cheaper temporary cover? The car will not be used at all, only for a test drive. My current Insurer will not insure it temporary

Can you not buy regular annual insurance and cancel to get a refund when not required? Admin costs will be involved but should still work out cheaper than £300 Alternatively, get annual insurance payable in monthly installments and cancel after a month. Again, there will be a premium for not paying in full but not as bad as your current quote.

As Fkarim says we tried to get temporary cover but no joy so took out a normal policy and then cancelled it..

I looked into this, and as I could not carry NCD over as its on my RRS, the premium was over £700. I would then have to pay a deposit of £120, the an instalment of £80 followed by another at the 2wk point. Cancellation charge was £50 and I don't know how much I would get refunded.

I didn't see it as much cheaper if any!

Sorted! I rang back my insurer as I had read something about mirroring NCD. Where they originally said they couldn't, turns out they can! I now have the two vehicles both with NCD on. result
