I tried to insure my 306 GTI-6 temporarily for a couple of weeks on my current policy, and been told they couldn't cover that particular car. Had the same story last time around, with a different insurer, trying to cover my Subaru Outback (2.5, not particularly quick) because they "didn't cover Subarus".

I've had to cancel a policy in the past and start a new one mid way through because they wouldn't cover the car I was changing into.

Does anyone know if any of the insurers/underwriters are particularly easy going with regards to this? I quite like changing cars, and occasionally want to drive someone elses car, etc. I'm due a renewal fairly soon on a car which I know I'm going to change in the near future so would prefer someone who I can change with, without cancelling and starting again.

Thanks!

I don't know, but I thought it was Aviva, based on my wife swapping from a cavalier to a MINI and not getting shafted. Until my son moved to NW7 from L37 and they wanted an extra £700. for the remaining 9 months.
Instead he went to Ensleigh and got 12 months for £680 and got £700 back from Aviva after he cancelled their policy.
Yes he is a student and other companies wanted £1200 to £1500 for the year.
