My annual car insurance is up on the 1st of December. I am leaving the country on the 21st of Jan. I am in the process of arranging a lease car from work and plan to sell my car before the 1st of december so I won't have to renew car insurance.
I am also moving house the weekend before this and need my car so have a small window in which I can sell it. (i am going to try and move during the week before but may need my car the weekend 28/29th nov)
In the event that I cannot sell it what options do I have in terms of insurance. I still need some form of insurance for people to test drive etc, but don't want to get myself tied into a policy as it may be only for a couple of days.
Any help gratefully received.

Under FSA regulation, you are entitled to cancel your policy within 14 days of its start (whether a new policy or renewal) and the only charge that can be made against you is for the number of days of cover plus an admin charge. That is, of course, unless you make a "total loss" claim (have your car written off).
I'd be tempted to allow your insurance policy to continue and simply cancel it when the car sells.In the beginning, the universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as a bad move.The late, great, Douglas Adams.0 -
that is a good idea - will check the cancellation fee.0
