    They dont need to look anything up on the DVLA, your simply asking that your looking at buying a new car and would it be possible to leave the old car covered as well whilst you sell it?

    If yes, how long for?

    I didn't think they would since they can't even look it up on the DVLA and stuff

    They don't need to look anything up with the DVLA.

    They need to know only the make and model of your new car.

    It may be more or less expensive to insure that your old car - and they will probably be charging an 'amendment fee' when you change over.

    You can ask them all these questions now - no need to wait for anything at all.

    I've already got a quote online with my same insurers and it works out cheaper so that's a bonus. I've just called them now and they said that when I switch my insurance over my old car will still be covered for 7 days :)
