Which type of car Insurance??

Hi, I'm currently trying to sell my car which I am not using at the moment because I've already bought my next car. Anyway the car insurance is up for renewel and although I've previously insured fully comp I'm thinking is it better to go Third Party F&T until car is sold, or is there another type of insurance is you're not actually driving he car on the road???

Thanks for all your help in advance.

    Third party insurance covers the minimum legally required by the Road Traffic Act. This is your liability to others on public roads. Depending on where the car is parked and whether you wish to cover against your own possible loss, should help decide what to do.

    also weigh up the insurance costs,depreciation,risk of damage while its parked up.
    depending on the value you maybe better just ebaying it for a (possible) quick sale
