Guest oldmanam Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Basically as the title says. Wish to buy a supra in the near future and would like to test drive it first and not have to get full years insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I couldn't get any for the supra nobody would cover it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Yeah google tempory insurance and there's quite a few companies that specialise in short term insurance, whilst getting a quote it will ask you for the duration in which you want to insure it for, some normal insurance companies will also add on a tempory car, I think it was admiral I was with when I rang up asking if I could add a tempory car for a week and they did for an additional fee but would depend on the company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 That was when I added my GTO onto my supra policy and was about 3 years ago so not sure on the best places to try at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 day insure is another one. You might well find there is an issue though as the vehicle will not be in your name so in theory you shouldn't be able to insure it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Be easier to have an insurance policy that covers you to drive other cars that are insured under their own policies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraP-Z Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 If you are fully comp and have your own policy, some insurance companies allow you to drive other peoples cars with their permission. There are terms and conditions though, you must be over the age of 25, hold a full UK drivers license and all that, the car that you are driving must be insured, few other bits n bobs too. If you did it this way, you would be insured under third party. Only some policies allow this, so best to check. Co-op do temp insurance as do admiral, not sure about bell and elephant, but pretty sure they are under the same umbrella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraig Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 You may find it hard to get temporary cover if its an import or modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokoro Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I used tempcover when I bought/collected my supra (however at this point I was then the owner of the car so needed a policy) - they do insure imports. Below is direct copy from their website: "Can I insure an imported vehicle? Yes, in most cases we are able to insure an imported vehicle. When you add your car registration to the quote we will tell you immediately if we are unable to insure the vehicle." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
