Taxing a car without the log book?

Ah that isnt so bad then.... I should just be able to take the old log book and the application for the new one and that should be dandy.

Thanks chaps

you can tax the vehicle, but you need to go to your DLVA office.
You must take the mot/insurance details.
You can not tax it at the post office.............

I should be able to do that! I will call them in the morning.

Just a seperate note, I'm sure your insurance will only be valid if your the registered owner and keeper of the car, without that logbook in your name your not, so just hope you don't have a crash or your not insured!

You may be able to tax over phone by calling 0870 850 4444 DVLA Vehicle Relicensing line.

You had me worried for a moment here... but if you are right, the terms of the policy (normally there to restrict) should free me. The insurance covers me on any car for which I am NOT the registered owner (with permission of course). So if the insurers were to get awkward and not pay out because I am not the registered owner, they would automatically be activating the second level of the insurance.

In any case, I cannot see any note of needing to be the registered owner, there is simply mention that the insurance pertains to the car in question.

Thanks
