How long does it take the Motor Insurance Database to update, insured the RS this morning and have checked all day, need to buy tax before i can get out and drive it again but the online thing keeps telling me i have no insurance! Really annoying when you've just spent £1000 on insurance!
If you ask me it should be instant, seeing as i just paid a grand!

Was talking in general, people pay so much for insurance they should provide a good enough service to update the database instantly!
And tbh i said a GRAND not MORE THAN A GRAND!

phone your ins company in the am & ask them too fax a copy of your cover note....that might be enough at the PO?

some insurers like quinn never used to add cars to the mid unless they had to.
