car insurance cover between home moves

Hello,

I'm moving out of my current address soon and am planning to stay with a friend for a couple of weeks while deciding what to do next. My question is what happens with my car insurance. Presumably, I will have to tell them that I’ll be moving out of my current address. Will I continue to have cover? And how will they adjust my premium if I don’t know what my next permanent address will be?

    You keep them up to date with your addresses as and when you move. You'll have cover unless you fail to tell them you've moved, or they have some problem with the specific addresses.

    I'll definitely tell them I'm moving out of my current address and give them my new address when I've got it. But what about the interim period? Do I need to give them my friend's address? And what if I were to spend a few days at a B'n'B? Would I have to give them that address too?

    It's not like being on holiday, is it? What else could be your address while you're there? You can't claim it's your old address if you've clearly moved out and handed the keys on. It's not your next address, for similar reasons.

    House and car insurance has doubled.I wonder if consumers chose the beginning of the alphabet as regards names eg Alpha,Beta,Gamma.
    Those beginning towards Z eg at the bottom of the alphabet rather than A might be forced to lower cartel prices.This in order to be on our selection list.
