car insurance up soon, changing car

debra1969

my car insurance is due for renewal soon on my old car, but maybe in a month or two's time I am going to replace the car (last legs and all that!). So I need insurance to cover max 2 months, what is the best way of doing this? I usually pay for my insurance monthly, but it has been high the last year as I was hit last February by an uninsured driver neither the insurance or the police have been able to find, and also January 2007 I have a TS10 (failing to comply with traffic lights) conviction, so basically on a car which is worth max £500 my insurance quote has come in at just over £800...

any advice on how to cover my old car short term would be appreciated.

It will probably work out cheaper to insure your car as normal, then changeover cars when you get your new one.

Short term insurance is more expensive pro-rata than the usual annual contracts.
