I'm trying to find a company who will insure me on my friends 911 for day. I'm looking after it at the moment and need to take it out for a run to make sure the battery stays fresh.

Everywhere that I've tried (AA, Tempcover, DayInsure, RAC, Endsliegh) so far refuse to do anything about it. What are my other options?

I'm sorry I can't offer any help but one has to see the irony of a company called "DayInsure" refusing to provide insurance for a day smile If you don't mind me asking, have they explained why, is it that you are too high a risk, too young etc?

I can imagine it is fairly high risk, friend borrows 911 for day possibly not having driven one or anything like it before (I guess they would ask this question), not his, maybe rags it around. I'm not saying you would do these things but thinking about it from the insurer's perspective.

No they don't explain why they won't cover it. I'm in my mid-30s so I'm not too young, they don't ask about car history. However, I guess they will just point blank refuse due to the nature of the car, as you say it could be open to lots of abuse.

Have you tried Adrian Flux? I got the sense they are all about specialist car insurance, so got to be worth a try.

I'll give them a call, I can't add the car to my current policy either as it needs a tracker.
