Transferring car insurance between old and new car
Discussion
If this has been discussed before, please link me to it as the search function isn't showing up anything obvious.
Selling old car and buying new car on the same day - will probably be transferring the same policy to the new car.
Is there a cheap/free way to be insured on both cars on the same day? Insurance company has a 28-day minimum agreement on 2nd cars, so will cost £75 even though we only need it for a day. Or do you generally get a day's overlap anyway?
Trying to avoid dropping off the old car, and then having to walk to pick up the new one.

Shame Loon isn't here, but let me fill in meantime:
Oh no, not another 'I want to know about insurance thread,' tut... try the search thread next time.
Oh, you want 'cheap' insurance do you? We don't work for nothing you t**t.
Why can't you walk, use your legs (and if you don't have any I don't care).
Just pick up the phone and ask your insurance provider to cover both cars, not difficult is it!!!
Anyway, you wont hear from me for a while...I'm working with Trump's PR team.
Miss him really

Thanks, hadn't heard of one-day insurance so checked that out, but when I mentioned it the existing insurance company will also cover the transfer day (had originally asked about cover while we sold it hence why they quoted the 28 day minimum).
Sounds like a good result. But just sometimes I do wonder. You asked for cover for the period of selling (28 days) and then think it's expensive for one day, when they actually will cover you for the cost of one day?That Ferrari insurance quote I got was really expensive. Does anyone know of a cheaper way to insure my mini for a year?
Just light hearted leg pulling there OP

Seem to remember he was banned by people complaining about very little. What value does your post add to the thread?
The answer is that all insurers will allow an overlap on the day you're swapping cars as already posted.
