Temp. Insurance
Discussion
No. Picking up van from France. Had to leave my car & van in France last year due to illness and then lockdown, trying to get a friend temporary insurance to drive one back, to insure for me plus named driver is silly money ( £1500 ) and my existing insurance will not allow to add another driver

I use a transport guy who is currently in France (based in the UK). You never know if he is empty on the return, perhaps he could do the job?sicarumba said:
This is a genuine question and not an attempt at anything dodgy but ... how will they know the journey did not start in the UK? For all they know you (or your friend) drove to France and back.
If there was a big claim, I'm guessing all the details of the circumstances surrounding it and leading up to it would be in the police report, discussed at trial, at the coroner's court etc. TwigtheWonderkid said:

It's a PHer who runs the company (or definitely was a few years ago), and they're very highly rated by PHers who've used them.

The journey did start in the UK, albeit last year! OP, have you made insurers aware of this, and of the exact circumstances?Forums | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
