Insurance renewal - moving the date?

[Tigger]

My insurance renewal is comming up soon, due on 20th Dec

Has anyone ever moved their renewal date, or is it even possible?
Just don't fancy having to pay the insurance at the mouth of Christmas every year lol

I'm with Greenlight

Cheers
Trev

Depends when they take the money, normally its a week or two after isn't it?

You might be able to ask for them to take it on a specific date, I'm sure I was given the option.

Otherwise, don't renew straight away. Go for a little while without driving and reinsure when you want to pay it? Or credit card and interest free jobbie.

Insurance is a continual thing . The only way to move the renewal date would be to take the car off the road and not insure your car for a period of time .

 

[Tigger]

Just a thought, wondered if anyone on here had a similar thing

get a 10 month policy , then it will move next year

 

[Tigger]

^ Do Greenlight do that, and what way does NCB work with it?

You have insurance Trev??? Who in the right mind would insure you

 

[Tigger]

At least I can get it on the 172 boy!

What about just taking out an insurance policy for 28 days , then going back to your own insurance company after that ?

There are a few companies that do car insurance month by month now .

Speak to Greenlight and ask them if they can take the money out on a different date and see what they say

 

[Tigger]

Rang Greenlight today, there's no way of moving the renewal date unless as above, I take the car off-road for a period or switch company.

Oh-well it was worth a shot

I have heard you can freeze policies so.......

Can you not freeze your one now, un-freeze it in a months time (keep car off the road) and then the policy will run out in January then when you renew it, it will always be in January?

 

[Tigger]

I need my car, hence not taking it off road. It was just a thought so not-to-worry now

get pay as you go insurance for a month or two if you can afford it as its a bit more then get a year policy again when ready
