Insurance to sell car

Comments

  • Thanks for all your comments here . There plenty of food for thought . My car is a Dacia Duster 1.4 Diesel   2014 reg with only 15000(genuine) on the clock ...... seems crazy that I have to sell because its not ULEZ compliant ! 
  • Is it also the case that most 'driving other cars' extension clauses under fully comprehensive policies require the car to be insured in its own right?  I'm not sure that conventional policies allow the policyholder to drive someone else's uninsured car.

    Neither Direct Line nor Aviva require the vehicle to have other insurance in place however the owner of the vehicle would be breaching Continuous Insurance Enforcement by not having a specific policy covering the vehicle so likely to get letters from the DVLA and a £100 fine if the vehicle is neither insured nor SORNed again.

    Esure, however, do require the other car to be insured - probably safest to say that it's not an exact science!
