downimpact Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'm looking to test drive and potentially purchase a car on the weekend. I'm struggling to find a car insurer that will do short term cover for an import with a couple of mods. I'm just under 30 which may also be a factor. Anyone make any recommendations? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I had the same problem with short term cover on my Soarer. Best thing I can suggest is try Sky, theyre the forum Insurer, maybe they can suggest something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilicos Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 These are who I use. http://www.insuredaily.co.uk/ Sky directed me to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozz Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 One alternative - I think its HPICHECK, run a check on the car and they will give you free 7 days insurance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Budget also do short term cover as well. However I think generally insurers will insure for a month (or a week at least) rather than just ad-hoc days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 These are who I use. http://www.insuredaily.co.uk/ Sky directed me to them No good for modified vehicles. From their website: Eligibility & Acceptance Criteria The statements below must describe your circumstances correctly > > > Vehicle Modifications Vehicles fitted with manufacturer specified optional extras, fitted at the time of manufacture are acceptable Vehicles modified to cater for a disabled driver or a disabled passenger are acceptable All other post manufacture modifications (cosmetic or performance related) are not acceptable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downimpact Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 found another solution though not so good unless you're quite sure about buying the car. Just started my insurance and I can cancel with 14 days with just a £30 admin fee, same difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
