Got an annoying dilemma with my insurance. I've bought a new car and tried to place it on my existing policy but unfortunately the insurer (CIS) says it's not possible and try to sell me a fresh policy. The car I've just bought is virtually identical to the last one except newer so a bit surprising that they won't. There is a month left and I am on the verge of 5 years NCB.

Temporary insurance is ludicrously expensive.

Just wondering when to buy a new policy.

Cheers!

Cheers everyone. I have just cancelled the policy. I got a £44 refund which is more than the years extra NCB would have saved so all is not lost! I expected the difference to be much more.

The problem turned out to be that my previous car was on an "Eco" policy. The car in car question was a 15 year old, 3 litre diesel E class estate - I guess they saw the car as biodegradable as it seemed to dissolve in the rain.
