Temporary Car Insurance - (28 days cover)

So im looking for short term car insurance help.
My Mum wants to buy my car off me, so it is agreed that she can start driving it as soon as a sale is completed on hers. We estimate this to be about a month. My car insurance policy runs out in a couple of weeks, so will need to re-insure it, if only for a short period of time.
For me to re-insure the car with Swift cover
(11 month policy 1x £58.23 1 10x£27)
£52 Cancellation charge
Bearing in mind i would be paying a large 1st sum, and then a cancellation charge I'm looking at £110
Alternatively my cheapest short term quote was from
Aviva -28 days cover for £171.76
Interestingly i couldn't find a site which offered a comparison of insurance providers for term cover. Both moneysupermarket.com and gocompare.com only suggest certain providers.
So here's the question.. Is there a wiser way of spending my hard earned cash here? Help and suggestions would be truly appreciated.

Are you replacing your car? If so, go for annual cover and do a change of vehicle on it.0
