is this possible...???

Possibly a stupid girly question, but I'm off on holiday for a few weeks and my mum refuses to feed my cats unless I let her have my car so she can drive to my house (cow), my cat would near die if I left it in a cattery (queen cat). So, is it possible to add someone to your car insurance for say a month, or even a fortnight??? I'm insured with Asda, (norwich union I believe) and they sure take enough of my money. I don't want her as a permanent named driver as she has only had her license for a year and she would up my premiums too much-would rather let said cat die in cattery! :p

    I second that, it is possible.
  • Hi hlmurray,

    It's called in the insurance world a 'temporary MTA' (Mid-Term Adjustment).

    It's entirely possible to put your mother on for 1 week minimum upwards, just speak to your insurance broker and they should be able to sort you out no problem - shouldn't be too much of a dent with the premium.

    Hope that helps, Steve.
  • i have got a solution. put your mum n the cattery and insure the cat on the car! everyone's a winner

    Didn't know you could put cows in a cattery :eek: Might be useful for dairy farmers wanting a break :D

    Ask a neighbour to feed the cat instead, and then have the satisfaction of politely declining your mum's kind offer!
