Cheapest for temp insurance?
Discussion
Hi all,
I have recently bought a 525ix touring as a winter shed, I am planning to pick it up on Thursday.
I don't really intend to use it right away as I have a 318i touring that I would like to sell first before putting the 5 on the road.
Its quite a distance away from me and I was going to get some temporary insurance to drive it home and run about with it for a week or two to make sure everything is ok with it.
I thought I would be able to get cheap enough temporary cover for it but after having a quick look the cheapest I can see is around £150 for 14 days.
That seems a bit excessive to me.
Any ideas?
Cheers.

Do you have a policy for the 318? If so, have you checked with that insurance company. My insurer (Bell) charged me just over £14 for 7 day cover on a second car recently which I thought was a good deal.
The company that insures the 318 (SWMBOs runabout so she insures it) won't insure the ix unfortunatly.Good tip about the HPI check, although I was looking to insure it for a couple of weeks.
ETA, my M5 is insured with Swiftcover and they won't do me temp insurance on the ix. Very odd!
I only tried online though, I didn't call them.

eCarinsurance was £20 for me recently
That sounds good, I will try them.Thats a third of what I am to insure my M5 for a year!
I'm 31, 6 years NCD with no points (will have to check though, might still have a fixed penalty on)
I might try Adrian Flux but I changed from them recently as their prices went up dramatically.

You HPI it, they give you a code for Aviva, you call Aviva at your leisure, you give them all your details, they give you a silly quote for a year and you choose a start date for your free seven days.
I tried this when I bought my Defender, its for cars less than 10 years old. You are best to take out a policy with a new insurer using your current ncb on your current policy. You have 2 weeks to cancel the policy, and they won't require proof of ncb unless you claim in this time.Edited by Swoxy on Sunday 25th September 20:39
Some insurers give a full refund within 2 weeks, some make an admin charge.
