Well heres the deal, i'm 17 so most short term insurers won't offer me cover but with a full hpi check you get 7 days free insurance with them. they say: You can benefit from up to 7 days' free insurance cover when you get a no obligation quote from Aviva. Provided the car you want to buy is a passenger car or light commercial vehicle (up to 3.5T) you can benefit from this special offer. Aviva will send you a cover note which you can use to insure your new vehicle.

Driveaway cover is available throughout the UK, plus the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, but not Northern Ireland. Please note: Annual quotes are subject to standard Aviva terms and conditions. Under some circumstances an annual quotation cannot be offered, e.g. if you are under 21 years of age or your car is ten years old or more, which means that a Driveaway Insurance policy will not be available to you. Only one 7 day free policy is permitted per customer per vehicle registration number.

and as i have a full licence and a mk4 golf weighs less than 3.5 tonnes i should be okay?
