Driving a deceased person's car to their funeral

Different situation but I used cuvva.com when I ended up with an extra car and needed to move it. It didn't cost a lot and was very easy to set up via an app on my phone. Good luck anyway.

I'll add that Saga changed the policy on my brother's car to allow me to it for 30 days. It appears the answer to the question is ask the current insurer.

You're going to need to sort insurance anyway - remember that you cannot have a taxed car uninsured. Will you be selling the car? Or will you be inheriting it?

I hadn't even thought of that yet. I am the only family but I don't drive, planning on learning very soon.

So would this mean I would need to get insurance for the vehicle even if it wasn't being used and just sitting in the car park at home?

Yes. Or SORN it, which means it must be stored off the road.

I think although a few do allow it with no insurance on the car, most don't. A lot of policies don't even include it these days.

Those policies that do provide cover for third party vehicles will usually state "with the owner's consent" and only provide minimal cover.

It's third party risks only, no fire, no theft, no damage to own vehicle.


I have it with Direct Line, there is no requirement for the vehicle to have an insurance policy of its own.

Not necessarily. I've had a couple which have been fully comp.

I'm currently with Aviva, and I noticed their new Aviva Plus policy allows you to select fully comp Driving Other Cars. https://www.aviva.co.uk/insurance/motor/car-insurance/
