Weekend Car Insurance

[Harpham]

Is there such a thing?

Im thinking of getting a ph1 172 but would only want it at the weekend?

 

[Daniel]

Can you not just do a limited mileage scheme?

 

[clairemae]

pay as you go insurance maybe?

 

[nick.]

if your under 21 m8 u will struggle cos i haven't found anyone who will insure me on mine and thats only a 1.2. If you find someone though please share

What happens if it somehow gets damaged/stolen during the week?

 

[Chrisjk]

Direct line covered me on my mums car for a couple of days , however that was as a named driver, worth a call though.

 

[Ben.]

Abit pointless as if it gets knicked in the week you wont be covered,as said I would get a limited mileage policy.

I would go for a limited mileage policy. It means you can still tax the car without issue.

Never heard of a 'weekend only' (as in the car is insured every weekend) policy myself and as far as I know, you can't tax a car on temp insurance.

i have my weekend car insured under a limited mileage policy, best way of doing it.

 

[Harpham]

Hmm, ill have to look into it then...
Ill be 21 when I get the car (it'll probably be my 21st present )
Hopefully it wont be too much as I want to use my 1.2 day to day and then use the 172 at the weekend

i had my mini insured at 21 as my weekend car, all mods declared etc. £300 fully comp.

A limited mileage policy is exactly that, probs limited to 3000 or 5000 miles a year (it's for folk who only drive at the weekend etc)

I have just brought new car insurance on a ph2 172 as a temporary driver (as im at uni) its £365 fully comp.

 

[kevin.s]

direct line coverd me on my 172, on my missis policy as a named driver for 2 weeks for about £40. (it was so i turned 25 before renuwing my own insurance so it would be alot cheaper.)

 

[fuller292]

^^^ Thats no bad, direct line have killed me though, built up a years no claims and because I moved insurance they wouldnt transfer my no claims over. Hence why ive gone temporary cover.

yeah limited mileage policy, car was running 320bhp per ton before the gearbox threw its toys out of the pram.

Norwich union do short term insurance, £12 a day iirc

 

[jessicabown]

The way out is Weekend Car Insurance that covers any period from one through twenty eight days time. Advantage of these Insurances is that the premium rate is low and the quality of service is quite high.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Just remember that all taxed cars now have to be insured 24/7, or you face a big fine.

How would you prove the mileage to the insurance company? Do they come and check the car or something?

 

[Harpham]

Wow, mega bumpage there... How do these people always seem to bump stupidly old threads. lol

they would fit a tracker so they know your every movement and mileage
