Insuring a car you no longer own

[kev999]

Right, Im currently stuck between the sale my Saxo VTS and buying a Clio 182.
Although I do not own or have access to the VTS im still insured on it. What are the legalities of doing this? As I dont really want to suspend the insurance as I still drive my dads and gfs car 3rd party on the insurance.

Doesn't matter what car you are insured on as long as you have permission to be insured on the car. But would it not be easier just to tranfer the insurance to your GF car?

Sorry, didnt see that. Im used to SaxP, they have their own insurance section **hint hint mods**, lol.

I believe it is illegal as the new owner will probably be insuring the car, the same car is not allowed to be insured twice.

Which is what I feared at the start.

your driving without insurance ooh naughty boy

so you wont be able to transfer your insurance onto your gfs as that means her car is insured twice then too

Speak to the insurer about freezing your policy. I'm sure I've heard in this event that you can put the policy on hold for a limited period then start it back up once you have the new car.

Ill phone my insurers up then and see if i can freeze.
Thanks for the advice.
