What's the best way to do it?

Do I take out a new policy with my current insurance company?

Are there specific companies that specialise in short term insurance (e.g. 48 hours / 7 days etc)

Or do all insurance companies do this and it's just a case of finding the cheapest?

I'm 20 btw..

Thanks :p

Oh for under 21 you may struggle to get temp cover.
And if you put a car on your policy for a week will sting you would imagine.
Phone up your company.. see what they say. Just tell them you need to drive a car for a week.

I'm with Brentacre mate, maybe I should give them a ring. That sounds well good, I used to be with Bell but had to change due to them not insuring engine conversions... :n:

Do you need insurance on your current car aswell for the week?

Some companies you can ring them up and ask them to transfer your policy to another car for a week :y:

Im with quinn, when my mate went away for a week and I used his car, quinn swapped my insurance over FOC and faxed me the cover copies :y:

Phone your current insurer and see if they will allow you to add a car onto your insurance temporarily.

Some of the insurer's we use at my work will allow this.
