im looking to buy a 3dr cosworth within a couple of weeks,obviously i need to be insured for driving it back,do greenlight or any other company do short term insurance for me to do this or do i need to insure it for a full year,i also want to ask if i can insure the car for theft only as the car wont be driven only kept in the garage for the time being.

 

Those shrugs are insane!

 

You can get insurance for 1-14 days from RAC, I did it with my dad on his focus and it was around Ł15 for 24 hours.

 

its quite hard to get temporary insurance for a cossie because the car is a group 20 i struggled to get for my saph. i did get it but it was doen as a 4x4 ghia was the correct reg and even when the ploice pulled us over just past dundee they checked everything and all came back fine but i think you will struggle

 

Try www.aviva.co.uk, you can get temp insurance between 1 and 28 days. AFAIK, the only restrictions are you must be over 25 and the vehicle valued under Ł55,000

 

Altough you might only need insurance to drive it to the garage where its going to be stored have you thought about the worse case senario ie what if it gets nicked or the garage burns down ect hopefully it wont but for the sake of the cost of the insurance i would keep it insured all the time as its a big loss if the worse should happen. Im in the middle of doing the underside of my escos and it will be off the road for a year but it will still be insured the same regardless. As the car is worth more than Ł5000 its most likely that you will only be able to get fully comp insurance anyway.

 

Do i full HPI check on the car Aviva will give you a full 7 days drive home cover for free and its fully comp all you need to do is have a full quote from them to get it ..then get the car home shop arround thats what i done easy money

 

i use tempcover.com when i've bought my last few motors anything from 1-30 days you can use the cover note to tax car aswell even if you take it out for 1 day.

 

yeah my advise would be aviva/RAC day insure doesnt matter which one both nearly identical and the two companys ever share an office together

there are other ways as if i remember if you buy the car from ebay and pay there rates you get 7 days free insurance

and i dont know if its still going but at aviva/RAC were offering 7 days free insurance if you take out a quote with them so worth a call to see if they still do that

 

oh and you dont have to take out a policy just the quote to get the seven days

 

You only get 7 days free insurance if you buy the car from a dealership or have done an HPI check, NOT just for a quote. I, unfortunately, work for Aviva

 

tempcover don't do modified either I don't think!!
