Quinn direct used to do it but then stopped I believe

You will really struggle to find someone that does and even if you do find one, they will probably put up the price massively to compensate for allowing an experienced driver to drive other vehicles

Your daddy could own an Aston Martin for all they know, how much of a risk would you a 21 year old be when driving that?

Only place does it now is NFU and Co-Op , Co-Op price is ridiculous i got quoted over a grand more than i pay now , NFU is like a secret bloody club when i tried ot get in , Started crackin on saying you must be a relative of someone already with them to join and they must have been with them for 12 Months

Co-op and Swift cover are 2 companies that will let you drive any car, even under 21.
Prices are abit steep tho.

this is correct, with quinn direct anyway. iv been insured with them for the past 3 years and had the extension to drive other cars but this year on renewal they told me it was on my policy by mistake only people aged 25+ can drive other cars.

Insurers have changed the terms to offer DOC to at least over 25's. Some insurers may still over it but as an expensive optional extra.

This is because they were too many claims on them. Bell used to offer it, then had many claims then charged for it as an optional extra now have removed it all together.

What was happening is that people were buying 1.0 litre corsas and other cheap low group cars... insuring them and then driving around evo's etc much faster cars and crashing them.
