    I thought the 3rd party, fire and theft policy that i have on my current car covers 3rd party cars when i have the insurance certificate. You sure while I am driving a 3rd party car i wont be covered?

    If you only have TPF&T insurance, it's extremely unlikely to cover driving other cars.

    These days, even comprehensive policies are less likely to have DOC cover, especially for under-25s.

    You need to read your insurance certificate.

    That won't help if you don't have cover. What does your insurance cert. say?

    I like to know who does the cheapest Temporary insurance cover out of:


    Insure Daily, Tempcover.com, Confused.com and the RAC?


    Also does the cheapest offer cashback on quidco or topcashback?

    How about getting a quote from each, posting the results and if you can't work it out we'll tell you?
