pjrzn Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Guys just wondering, if I bought a car and the car has tax and mot but no insurance is it okay to drive the car from A to B? Or do I need to get this insurance as soon as I bought the car? It's about 150-200 miles roughly around 3.55 hours drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 you'd need insurance i would have thought mate, there are a few companys that do day insurance so maybe worth taking that out?or you can give your insurer a ring and ask them if you can get insured on it for a day or so and see what they say?the worst they can say is no :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 If you have a policy which allows you to drive other people's cars, and its not you car, then yes you can. But most policies do not come with this as standard anymore.Most will cover you 3rd party as long as you're 25 or over and the car you are driving is also insured! I'd give your company a call mate, better safe than sorry, it's 6 points if you're caught! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Mark Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I was covered to drive my car home when I bought it as technically it still belonged to someone else! Check your insurance policy but most say that you can drive other cars so long as they are under a certain engine size and not yours. Mine was 2L max til I was 25 now I can drive any car as long as its not mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
