I bought myself a calibra turbo 2 weeks ago and insured it with day insure without any problem to collect it, i only did 3 days at the time as thats all i needed
anyways i was going to take it out tonite and tomz evening so i logged onto the site and now they are saying they dont insure cars older then 1993 and this model is a 92 on a K-plate checked a few other day insurance places and they wont touch me due to the age/model combination
that is bloody annoying id still like to insure the car for tomorrow anyone got any idea's for day cover?

car itself still needs to be insured for another driver to drive it on their insurance

that is a rule they have brought it
if you type day insurance into google there are a few sites that do it, some of them are linked to the same companies but there are some that have diff rules

I think there was a thread about this a while ago. My insurance says i can drive any car 3rd party that doesnt belong to me, no mention the car has to be insured by someone else.

it is true a car needs to be insured under someones name for a named driver to drive it third party
i just dont understand how i was covered but now they wont let me, im going to biatch at them tomz and ask how on earth they let me drive 2 weeks ago and whether i was even insured
although my print out passed the police test as i got a speeding ticket the day i bought the car lol

It's insured against loss but there is no certificate so its illegal under Road Traffic Act. Plus its not insured if you get out.
