Aviva car insurance - amending a policy

Road Safety Act, Mr Stalker. Go look it up. Perhaps that will give you something to do other than stalk me.

I don't know how Aviva update MID (the database of insurers and vehicles used by the police and insurance industry), but all insurers have 7 days to update the database. You could, therefore, have received your new insurance certificate before the MID has been updated. Please remember this if you are going to apply for your road tax on the internet too.

To answer your original question, however, you will be covered from the moment you do the change but your old car will then NOT be insured and MUST be kept off-road (with a SORN declaration) if you do not intend to trade it in. If you are doing a trade-in, check on the website to see if you can forward date the alteration.

Thanks - the plan is to sell the car before buying another anyway so that's fine.

Probably be buying something that is taxed for at least a month so that's not an immediate concern

It is weird - my previous insurer didn't apply admin fees for using their call centres. Aviva make me pay to use far, far worse ones

Most insurers do nowadays. To be honest, the option to do it free online or pay to use a call centre seems like a good idea as it gives you choice.
