Insurance help please

Hello

I will try to keep this as simple as i can, but please try and keep up with me as i really need help and direction!

I am advertising my current car for sale and expect it so sell shortly. The insurance on my current car runs out on 14th September, at this point i will have earned myself 1 years no claims bonus.

I am taking delivery of a new car on Friday (27th) August and looking to insure this for a full year. However, the insurance companies i have been with touch with still class me as having 0 years claims, which is bringing back a hefty insurance quote.

I have been told by Aviva that if i was to ring up my current insurance company (ecar) and cancel early they could still class the time i have served as 1 year no claims, but they wont do that, they are saying i will loose my no claims if i cancel early.

Really stuck and don't know what to do that is not going to cost me a fortune.

Many thanks for your time.

Craig

    Take out a couple of weeks temporary insurance (google...tempcover and the like) until your current policy is finished (don't cancel it early); then take out a proper policy.
