DaveSupTT Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Im not too sure if they will do just a short term policy under 10 months. Might be wrong. I know you can get track day, but that probably just covers you for "track", to be honest im not to sure. You could try Sky (the clubs insurer) or maybe Admiral, they are quite good.

AlexM Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I tried to get a short term policy when I was hunting around about a month ago, nobody would do it. It was 12 months or nothing . Sky wouldn't even quote me as I'm under 25! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Can you explain your circumstances a bit better mate. Are you coming to the UK to pick up a Supra in order to get it to the sea port or are you staying in the UK for a few months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Just insure it in your home country and make sure you have Pan-European cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADL Mark Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 If you google there are companies that specialise in short term insurance, I did it last week to test drive my girlfriend's new car as it had no insurance on it. They do it from 1-28 days, though you might run in to difficulty if the car is modified as it's quite basic insurance. Sky have a link to one on their website, I think it's called insuredaily or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Insure Supra in your home country - all fully comp will give you European cover as a standard anyway so no problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Something like these? http://tempcover.com/ http://www.insuredaily.co.uk/ I'm fairly sure those companies and those of the same ilk will only cover UK residents. You need to get insurance in your own country I think... Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
