Wife and daughter need to get to Yorkshire - Simple?
Discussion
I cant believe this is as tricky as it seems to be.
Wife and daughter(s) need to travel from North London to Yorkshire. I will be joining them later, but can't share the driving on the way up.
Wife is not used to driving long distances, so thought I would get elder daughter (23, clean license for 6 years) added to my policy (wife already named driver) for a week or so, then they can take the Cayenne (3.0d) and share the driving.
Adrian Flux say it cant be done.
None of the short term "tempcover" type insurers can offer cover.
Cant find a car hire company that will deliver a decent spec car that both my daughter and wife can drive.
Buying my daughter something more comfy (but still insurable) than her current Mini 1 just for this trip cant be the best option.
No buses, trains etc.
Is there really no way of getting a 23 year old insured on a 3.0 diesel?

Really? Do you mean you can't find someone who'll rent your daughter a 7 Series, or you can't find someone who'll rent your daughter an Astra?Wife and daughter(s) need to travel from North London to Yorkshire. I will be joining them later, but can't share the driving on the way up.

Done London to Yorkshire in a day quite easily in the past?
I also don't see the trouble with using the Mini; would do the trick unless they're towing a caravan with them:- That being said; Try the Cuvva app; I imagine your daughter could get cover there.
I managed to get cover for a 159 2.0 Turbo Diesel at 18, so should be doable at 23.

'decent spec'? Surely if it has wheels it will suffice a short (relatively) drive up the country?No buses, trains etc.
Why no buses or trains? Get on a train and be done.

Yorkshire is massive, London to Doncaster/Leeds is very simple, but London to say Whitby, or Skipton is a little more complex.
London (Kings Cross) - Whitby 4h 51m by train, 2 changes.
London (Kings Cross) - Skipton
3h 40m by train, 1 change.
Actually, get your skates on, there's a train leaving KC to skipton, 3h 16m, no changes, leaves at 18:03!
The PH answer is to get another wife.
Other than that, wife will probably find it harder and slower to get out of that there London than get to Yorkshire once on the A1
Once on A1, just head North and get off at the relevant junction,If she cant cope with that, she shouldn't have a licence.
