Turning 25 - Need 'any car' cover

BlueVanMan

I understand I would only be 3rd party but I will be legal.
That's all I'm looking for as it'll only be temporary.
Might have a look at quotes I get for renewal date and call the best ones to see if they're able to add it.

Gold star for Quentin btw

OP - why do you need DOC so badly (unless I've missed it)? If you only need to drive a specific other car for a specific time period you may be better getting it on a temp policy.

System

It cost me £20 to get temporary cover for a day on an entirely new car previously uninsured, and £10 to add a friend to an existing policy as a named driver for a week.

Generally, too, the driving of other cars extension is for Emergency Use Only, not suitable for general use.

What other cars do you need to be able to drive?

RBS Ins brands used to have this and they were not the only ones but they have subsequently withdrawn the wording.

As you say, emergency was hard to define and was designed more as a deterrent than as an enforceable clause (probably the reason for dropping it)

Misleading!

This is not "generally" the case at all, and where have you seen this?

(Who defined "Emergency Use Only"?)

Blimey Quentin, you're in an agressive mood!

In mine and II's defence, ALL RBS and UKI insurances specified 'Emergency Only' on their DOC extension. Amlin, Zurich and Allianz all had the same wording too. Well, at least they did on the policy documents I have. Granted, it was a grey area because they never defined 'Emergency'.

I said 'Generally' because UKI/RBS/Zurich/Amlin & Allianz covers a pretty large chunk of the insurance sector.

If it has changed since November when I last renewed my policy then I stand corrected. But it was a fair point to mention it as so many insurers had this same "Emergency only" policy wording.
