One off commute on a classic policy

[shed driver]

I've got a classic policy which doesn't allow use for commuting. I have booked it to have some work done on what was originally my day off however staff shortages mean I'm going to have to go to work. I can nip out of work and drop the car off with the specialist and then pick it up after work.

Would this count as commuting? My insurance company wants at least £30 for a change.

I thought so, sadly I will have to spend almost half the cost of my policy for this one journey!

I have to be at work well before the garage opens and it's too far to leave it and walk back. The area isn't the best either!

One of my colleagues would follow me down and be able to pick me up and return me to the garage in the evening.

It looks like I'll be paying the £30 fee for piece of mind.

Take the day off, simple.

I originally had the day off and the specialist was arranged around this. Due to sudden illness at work I'm having to cover for a colleague.

As it is, I've spoken to the insurance company who are adding commuting cover on for the £30 admin fee.
