Cover Note to print for Car insurance (TESCO ?? )
Options
I want to tax my car ASAP and want to get an insurance with cover note online.
I know swiftcover do only online policies and I can print one after ordering but they are not cheapest. I already got one for a friend and it works perfectly and accepted in PO.
Tesco is cheapest but my question is, do I get a cover note immedietely after purchasing to print off?
I had a Tesco insurance 3 years ago and it had a cover note that I printed and used. Not sure about now.
I tried privilege last night but they refused a cover note so had to cancel.
Thank you for quick reply.

I tried to tax a car a few years back using a cover note but the guy at the Post Office said they were not allowed to issue car tax with just a cover note. This was over 6 years ago so things might have changed!0

He was totally incorrect then as now. A covernote has always been acceptable at P.O. How the heck are you meant to tax a car then? http://www.postoffice.co.uk/portal/po/content1?catId=19100193&mediaId=191002700
