Hi,
Sorry it is off topic but do you know of any company that will offer 
temporary cover for a vehicle for 6-8 weeks
My current company was 160 tpff for 12 months but want 28pw for extension 
period
It would of course be cheaper to insure for the full year but they take cash 
in full if cancelled
HELP, The car aint going anywhere just parked on the road until I can move 
it on

Regards Jimbo

Change insurance company.

All the companies I have ever dealt with offer a partial refund fro early
cancellation. It wont be exactly pro-rata, but you should certainly get a
decent chunk back.

Where is the requirement that a car parked onthe public road needs to be
insured?  It needs to be taxed, but why insured?  It's hardly going to
jump up and bite someone's bum, is it?

Go to a broker. They'll probably know which companies are best for genuine
monthly cover. This is different from paying an annual policy in a monthly
fashion, which is just a normal annual policy connected to a 12 month loan.

Because it's on the road.

Speaking as somebody who had a phone call from his neighbour a week and a 
half ago, as a VW Golf had rolled down the hill, hit my car, and shoved it 
down the road blocking next door's drive and the middle of the road...

No, but the handbrake cable might fail and run into someone or something.
Someone might brush past and be stabbed by a sharp protrusion.

A car must be insured when it is used on a public road. "Used" is defined to
include parked.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I bought myself a new car, the old one was old as in 12yrs 135k miles 
from new by myself, and a very good car, which to be honest I should have 
just kept only I fancied to treat myself out of pure indulgence.and a that 
age present to myself (no more work :-)

The dealer did not want to have to move on a really old car, (they did not 
know how good it was, nor would any punter) so I got a generous discount as 
I paid cash

My next problem was to move on the old car, seemingly worthless, but I Knew 
he wasn't, I was not short of a bob or two, just did not want to pay some 
insurance broker a ridiculous sum for temporary insurance

I had not the heart to scrap Redgie the Renault, I could not really sell him 
due to age and peoples mis-trust of my honesty

Anyway I put a new MOT on him 32, Nine-months Road Tax, and passed him on 
to a young family for 100, they are happy, I am happy and Redgie is happy 
that he is not crushed. I know the young family will not have any problems. 
I know they will not cash in the RFL and scrap him for the 70 thus making 
40 profit
or break him for even more That is all I want really

Thanks all for the time and reading, I feel better now (sad feeling guilt 
over a lump of metal) but there you go

Regards Jimbo

You are lucky, when I was ordering my car the VW dealers around here were so
snooty, cash or not they did not even want to discount a quid off the price,
in the end I ordered via a broker and a hefty discount was had on a GTI, my
car at the time was the MK4 1.8t and they wanted to offer me 2k5 less than
what they had not so nice models on the forecourt, (I know they have to add
warranty etc but ffs!)

Fortunately after 2 months the MK4 went to the1st viewer and at a book price
which made me quids in on the deal, the hassle was worth the 3k+ saved.
