Short Term Car Insurance

Can anyone recommend a company to provide short term car insurance?

We are selling a car and it is just sitting on our drive so we dont want to pay a fortune to insure it.

Unfortunately, the insurance on it runs out in a couple of days and the company have told me that if I renew it they will charge me £47 to cancel it when the car is sold!

The only short term quote I can find is £98 for 28 days!!! :eek:

Any advice very much appreciated!

  • Local brokers are the best bet here.

    There will be something of a premium as, after all, the insurer has to make it worth their while. That said, I think I paid a similar amount not that long ago for 14 days.

    Thankyou very much - at least I know I am on the right lines :)

    The sooner we can sell it the better really!

    If your not using the car then don't bother insuring it, seeing as how its off the road and all?
