Car Insurance advice - New car and selling existing.

Hi,

I am buying a new car this Friday and then put my existing car for sale after a week or so.

My existing insurance company swiftcover runs out end of this month, however they have come in the cheapest even with the new car details so I am planning to keep with them by swapping the car over on the insurance. However, I'm not sure what to do with regards to insuring my old car whilst I put it up for sale? Should I get monthly insurance? (if so, any recommendations?) or just try one of these temporary insurance covers you can get?

I have 6 years NCD with the current insurer, however can I use this for the second car whilst its up for sale.

Any advice would be very welcome.



Regards,

AJ

    They will Insure both. They will cover the new car as a change of car and the old one on a temporary basis until sold.

    If you phone them, they will quote you on that basis.

If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.
