Break Between Insurance Renewal

[EViS]

Insurance on one of the vehicles is about to expire. The vehicle is parked in the drive and doesn't get used anymore. We will use it for one weekend in two weeks time and then put it up for sale. What's the most cost effective option insurance wise?

If we renew the insurance, will we get much of the premium back when we (hopefully) sell it in about a month? Could we leave it uninsured for a week, then take out a new policy and cancel it within two weeks? I presume we would only be charged two weeks of the premium? Is there much risk of a fine coming through the post for an uninsured vehicle having not be SORN?

Went with my expired insurer Direct Line last year,but did have another car insured at the time.

It was really cheap, forget the exact figure but was under £30 for 28 days. A nice surprise.

Not sure I follow what you're saying. Did you ask them to only insure the vehicle for 28 days as opposed to a whole year?
