New Car - Insurance?

alcur

Hi,

Might be a really simple answer to this and I might just be being thick but I am getting a brand new car on Sunday 1st March.

I have been told what the registration will be however the reg isn't recognised on the DVLA/insurance comparison websites.

How can I insure it to drive on Sunday if noone recognises the reg?

Thanks,
alcur

You give the insurer the exact details of the car instead.

Exact make, model, colour, engine etc..

You do need the reg number to be able to buy a policy.


So after choosing (by entering the exact details) your insurer, then ring your chosen company with the reg to buy the policy.


(Many main dealers will do you 7/14 days free insurance when you buy a new car so see if you can have this before buying a policy to start on the day you collect)

Do you not have a car at present with your own policy?
Of course the systems will not recognise the allocated registration, it takes tome to migrate across the various platforms.
Your better bet is to ask your current insurer based on the Make model engine size etc if it's not a new car of a new car, then they will have the insurance banding on the system already.
