Insurance quick Q

[jules_s]

I must be over thinking this and my google foo is failing. I'll try to make this as short as possible whilst covering all the salient points.

Trading my car in on Friday and need to sort insurance out.

Current policy on old car runs to June. I'm not worried about the ncb (i will be glad to see the back of the current insurer)

I don't appear to be able to insure the new car mirroring the no claims. I wont be able to cancel one policy and start a new one as im driving to the garage and picking the new one late Friday.

The garage is sorting the tax out (ie paid them)

I'm assuming they must offer some sort of drive away insurance so the car is covered until Monday?

I can be certain if I transfer the existing policy to the new car the insurers will absolutely cane me for the last month increase

Any pointers before I pick up the phone tomorrow?

Cheers for any input

Hi Smokey

Seems the quote button is fubar

I dont want to transfer because (and im fairly certain of this given their previous) the insurer will rape me for the crossover month. That and there is no telephone support so no rational discussion!

Like for like cars one being two years younger..

edit: thanks for the other replies - if I change the policy online there will be no going back (and a big bill i think)

Surely, if you go online & put the details in, if you then go as far as payment & don't like the cost, just go elsewhere, couldn't be easier.

That’s the current plan

Given their previous conduct I’m not hopeful of a sensible additional cost though!

£800 policy and they upped it £2.40

lol my faith is restored

Yep

The insurance co make it pretty clear they give 24 hours overlap so all is good
