Easy enough to do? Just a case of ringing my insurance and asking? I'm heading up to brum to look at a car, possibly driving back. Cheers peeps.

if you currently have insurance for a car you drive daily then speak to them first, they might cover it for free...

Just ring your current insurance if you have any, transfer onto new car, then change back when you've finished

you can get daily insurance from companies off the net, i did that when buying my last car though haven't bothered any other time... Was something like £25 quid or something for the day. Its a risk you take i suppose, can the most careful driver on the road but all it takes is some tool to jump a red light or be late on the brakes and your up s**t creek
