When did 1 day insurance get so expensive?!

[RmartinR]

I need to insure a Peugeot 106 for 1 day to take it for an MOT, you used to be able to get 1 day policies for £10, now they're asking for nearly £30 for a day!

Anyone got any ideas? Or know of a company who still does 1 day insurance for reasonable money?

Cheers

Probably when a driver and their 5 cousins started getting rear ended every week on the same road.

If somebody else already insures it, get them to add you temporarily.

Or find a cheap policy with low admin fees, take out said policy, then cancel within 14 days.

I was in a similar position. Insurance wanted approx £45 for the day,or £45 for the week! A months insurance was £59 so I had that.

It's been roughly £25-30 quid for a day, on pretty much any car since I can remember (last few 5-6 years that I've used it).

Although remember if you've got insurance elsewhere, they'll often give you temporary cover for pretty cheap for this sort of thing (I always used my own insurance co to temporarily put me on any new car I'd go to pick up etc.)

Or get the garage to collect it, probably be cheaper.

Personally, I can't even see how it's viable at £30, given the cost of clerical staff to process the transaction and collect payment.

Whenever I've asked the garage I've used they've been happy to collect and drop off with no charge although I've always chucked a tenner in their tea fund if they have helped me out

I tried going to my insurer (admiral) they were useless as per usual! It's booked in for early doors, so think I'm just going to have to take the hit, didn't even realise garages collect cars, otherwise I would have tried

I've used this company in the past, they came, collected the car, MOT'd it and dropped it back off. Good service.
