Temporary or Short Term Insurance

[danieldenham]

Hi
I want to lend my 9 to a couple of friends (mid 30s) for a week or two but I don't want to put them on my insurance for the whole year. We've tried to call various temp/short term companies but the moment we say "Aston Martin" they run a mile!

Please can anyone let me know what they've done about insurance if lending their cars.

Thanks

My starting point would be to ask your insurance company how much it would cost to put them on for a year. If it's £50 more then job done

[Graze01]

you could try adding them but with an increased excess (which is their risK) and it might not affect your premium

Ive done simliar (here in Australia)

I did exactly that for a friend of mine about a month ago. He was covered for a week for £27.

Most policies worth the paper they are written on will let you drive others and others drive yours, fully comp, no charge. Trouble is, often people prefer to pay fractionally less and then complain when their pants insurer is inflexible or keeps asking for admin fees!

For a (far) shorter term solution, I can thoroughly recommend a company / app called Cuvva. Incredible how often it comes in handy. Genuinely the best UI I've ever experienced too.

That's new to me, especially for an Aston.

Yeah, same here. Most policies will let you drive other people's cars third party, and don't provide cover for other people driving your car.

High Net Worth policies - which is what I switched to this year with Hiscox - will let you drive other people's cars fully comp and will let other people (that don't live with you and are over 30) drive your cars fully comp.

Very few policies let others drive your (or vice versa) car fully comp

I can drive anything and anyone I give permission to can drive any of mine . I negotiated it into the policy and it made very little difference because I'm known to my broker and he realises I won't take advantage of the situation .
Must be worth a call

Locktons allow up to 5 drivers over 25 to be added free of charge.

I have my 25 and 26 year old sons on and they are covered to be on their own fully comp!

Needed a mate to drive my Mums Golf - £25 for a day or £19 for the year! Admiral... Probably easier/cheaper to put them on your policy as named drivers...
