nickjohn - what insurance policy do you have - and who is it with?

 

I searched and searched - and NONE of the policies i found allowed me to drive other cars until I'm 25. They ALL had a clause saying if under that age that part of the insurance was Null and Void.

I'm with Quinn Direct, it's just called a 'Private Motor Vehicle Policy'

 

I've taken a photo of my policy document showing exactly what it says:

And my insurance certificate does say so :D

Doesnt point 3 in that list state that the car you intend on driving must be declared on the certificate of insurance?

 

Which - the owners certificate or yours? It's not very clear.

"Your liability to other people" sounds like they'll pay 3rd party only.

TBH i find it very difficult for a loop-hole like this to exist - otherwise every 17 yr old will be driving their dads supercar while paying a measily 100 notes insuring a metro 1.1...?

 

Still, i suppose its possible - but hope you'll be ok with coughing up for the repair costs to the supra if it happens.

Exactly, there are no insurance tricks to fully comprehensive cover. They'll refuse to pay out with gritted teeth whatever you try.

Even as a named driver on a fully comprehensive policy its questionable if proven you're in fact the main user of the car and not the policy holder.

You'd have to show you have use of another vehicle most of the time.

 

Oh to be young and naïve again.

Yes its just 3rd Party fire and theft

 

I'm not insuring a 1.1 metro, its a group 10 106 XSI

 

I'm paying over £1300 a year

 

No I'm not naive, its there, in writing

its not 3rd party fire and theft - if u read the doc u copied - its liability to third party only- if the car catches fire or is stolen you are not covered.

 

EDIT: I have a quinn direct policy in front of me (a colleagues) and his is the same.

Or you crash into someone else then your car isn't fixed!

Try explaining that to your dad. (Of course if it's not actually his car he won't care :haha:)

I tried to get away with this when i was young and naive and was told the other car ie the supra must be insured by someone

So if you were ins on pug and you borrowed yer mates supe that he ins then you would be ok but if there is no policy for the supra its not coverd by your ins

May have changed since then but thats what an ins broker told me

This is still the case, and they WILL check to see if you are just an occasional user, or if it's effectively your car. They aren't stupid, if you *iss them around they WILL screw you rather than pay out. They will go to vast lengths rather than be ripped off on a big claim, and it's big claims that you really insure against...
