How to get insurance quote when retired but still doing ad-hoc work?

EdGasketTheSecond

Is it possible to get an online (hence cheap) car insurance quote for someone who has retired from NHS employement but still works up to 8 days a month on what is called 'the bank' and gets paid for the ad-hoc hours worked? The person would need business cover so I can't put 'retired' as the main occupation and I don't recall seeing any opportunity to enter the above scenario?

What is wrong with "employed" ?

I'd just put myself down as employed - you're employed by the nurse bank but choose your shifts.

I think they assume full-time employed whereas actually the main occupation is being retired now.

Yes could do however I know part-time work meant higher insurance in the past so presume the same in retirement; therefore not sure it'd be correct to say employed and leave it at that.

No main plus part time occupation choices ? I certainly remember being given that option.

The online comparison sites are great if you fit into their boxes, but can't cope with anything even slightly out of the ordinary. You need to ring the insurer - start with the company that comes out top for someone doing your job full-time. And don't forget that there are insurers that aren't on comparison sites but often come up cheaper.

Ah but that's if you say you are employed; as soon as you say retired, the option of secondary occupation disappears. If you say employed, there is no option to be retired grrrr.

From memory you can choose working part time which fits the circumstances.

If you are still working, you are not, by definition, retired.

If you are working, but not full time, then you are working part time.
Part time does not only cover say 2 hours per day, but can also be for example, 2 days per week.
In your case you still work up to 8 days a month.
