New car
Ninehigh - 16/9/13 at 02:18 PM

I'm picking up a new car this thursday, but I'll be selling the current one myself so I'll need both insuring for (hopefully) a couple of weeks while that gets sorted out.

My current policy is paid for the year and expires next july, roughly £420. So here's my options:

Add new car as a temporary cover for £90
Make the change to the policy for £109, plus however much to cover the old car (I'm expecting £90)
Just get a new policy (been quoted £330) and cancel old one (if I get £250 of it back it still works out cheaper)

What would you all do?

Also anyone interested in a '04 Peugeot 206 hdi?

in the past its worked out cheapest for me to just amend my existing policy to the new car and add the old one back on as a temp.

but if your policy it works out cheaper to cancel and start a new one I'd do that (although you may loose any incomplete years of no claim bonus this way if thats a factor...)



if you put your new car on a temp. policy your just delaying the inevitable costs of changing....

Well my thinking here is that by staying with the same company it's going to end up costing me nigh on £600 for the year. As the original policy started in july (and I already have 8 years) the loss of no-claims is a nonissue really
