Temporary insurance

Pound

I've recently bought a car. I've changed my policy to cover my new car, this means that my old car is uninsured.

I want to get it insured for about 2 weeks so that I can allow people to test drive it. What's the best way to do this? Should I get insurance especially for temporary cover or would it be cheaper to pay for a year's insurance, then cancel it and get a pro-rata refund?

I've been told that if I have more than one car I can only get a no-claims discount on one of the vehicles. Sounds rather odd to me, can't imagine it being correct, is it?

A friend in a similar situation got a 3 week policy from direct line for £30. This was for her use only, I don't know how you wuld insure it for others to test drive it.

unfortunatly when you get a second vehicle you have to start to build your bonus up from 0 (unless they give you an introductory discount)

Most companies will offer a tempory additional car feature, ask you current insurer if they do, it runs along side your policy for a set period of time and is charged pro rata.

I wouldn't look at taking a full term (12 month) pol and then cancelling it as most companies will charge a cancellation fee and it will work out dearer than the temporary cover.
