One day insurance

Renaultsport · Feb 11, 2011

Anyone know or used a company for 1 day cover? Looking to get the T on the road this weekend to blow away the cobwebs before the tax runs out at the end of the month.

Found RAC and another one on google, anyone know of any others out there?

Do you realise it's now an offence to have tax on an un-insured car?
If it's not insured it needs to be declared sorn.
Not heard of anyone actually getting charged yet but just a heads up.

Maybe not just yet... lol

Really!? Not heard of that one before. When did that come into play? What happens to people who keep cars locked away as toys until the sun comes out. DO they need to tax the car each time they want to go out in it instead of leaving it parked with tax but no insurance? I would have though the Gov would be happy with a taxed car not being used. They get free money effectively!

I know, but that seems to be the case.

dayinsure i've used last few times

But from my perspective, it's better than having to insure every car even if it's off the road!

It's annoying how this forum crops the pictures.

i only know of track insurance companies who do one day insurance but i'm fairly sure it an add on to a normal policy i.e. you need cover to get cover... competition car insurance do it.

Used to use DayInsure, but now have a limited mileage policy with CCI instead.
