Wife and daughter need to get to Yorkshire - Simple?
Discussion
I cant believe this is as tricky as it seems to be.
Wife and daughter(s) need to travel from North London to Yorkshire. I will be joining them later, but can't share the driving on the way up.
Wife is not used to driving long distances, so thought I would get elder daughter (23, clean license for 6 years) added to my policy (wife already named driver) for a week or so, then they can take the Cayenne (3.0d) and share the driving.
Adrian Flux say it cant be done.
None of the short term "tempcover" type insurers can offer cover.
Cant find a car hire company that will deliver a decent spec car that both my daughter and wife can drive.
Buying my daughter something more comfy (but still insurable) than her current Mini 1 just for this trip cant be the best option.
No buses, trains etc.
Is there really no way of getting a 23 year old insured on a 3.0 diesel?

Hmm. Yes, first world problem.
Wife is already pissed that I have effectively abandoned her to make her way up, so was trying to make it as comfortable as possible.
Three in the car, up to a big family wedding, and knowing my family, that will more than a Mini's worth of bags, hats, shoes, people.
Actually, maybe train is the answer,
Mind you, £270 for first class!

OP here.
Really should let this die but in the (vain) hope of closure....
Delighted (and surprised) to have created 18 pages of amusement.
No, its not that far, and for all of those with long distance trucker style wives, I'm sure this is the equivalent of just nipping round the corner for a new set of dungarees.
As the only person on the thread that actually knows the two women involved, you have to believe me that allowing them to share the (yes, yes, modest amount of) driving would be better option, and I remain surprised that no insurance company seems willing to provide cover.
I drop back in another 15 pages or so.
