Does anyone work in a insurance company?

[Kam740i]

I need help finding a car insurance company that does have DOC (Drive Other Cars) policy for under 21?

Also please PM if you actually work there.

Thanks

[Paul Drawmer]

why do you need DOC?

[2fster]

I'm not sure it exists for those who are under 21.

How about Temp Cover or the likes? Any good?

As previous poster - why do you need it anyway?

[Kam740i]

So I could drive other cars e.g friends or family cars.

For the benefit of doubt. If you really need DOC, the chances are it isn't the right way of doing it.

Are Quinn accepting again? I know the parent company went bust but the Quinn itself was making a rather healthy profit!

[Somnophore]

There won't be any insurance company that will offer this for under 21s(most don't offer under 25) as it's too high a risk for them for no extra reward. You'd just have to get insured as a name driver on those vehicles, which would be prohibitively expensive

[Kam740i]

Thanks for your replys, but I believe Quinn insurance has gone bust.

By the the way does anyone know if I could buy a salavage car sourced directly from the insurance company e.g Norwhich Union. Thanks..

Are you sure?

There are a few out there but expect a £5000-10000 excess and about £3k a year

The only company I know about is NFU. But you can only get a car policy with them when you are under 25 (pretty sure its 25) if a parent has an agricultural policy with them such as farm insurance.

[Curry Burns]

I work for NFU and the other poster is correct well only cover you if another policy is held.
But if you are using DOC for the use you describe, I wouldn't give you a policy as that is abusing the system as DOC is technically to be used in emergencies only.

I got it from Quinn, age 19. paying 1400/year and small excess.

[2fster]

Yeah, I'd forgotten about Quinn doing it.

But, as said previously, they're not supposed* to be writing new business in the UK ever since the regulator stepped in t'other week.

• Apparently Insurance Times phoned them the day after and they quoted!

where do I find him?

Kamran,

I got your email, it was in the Spam folder fittingly.

My profile states I'm an Insurance BROKER. That means I work for a company that places policies with insurance companies on behalf of businesses, individuals etc. So, no my employers do not sell salvaged cars, no need for me to check.
