Exactly, which is why I want to know, I mean, how does everyone else manage when they go to pick a new car up bought in a private sale, I know most proably just transfere their existing insurance, I could have done it as a temp car to my existing policy, but they wouldnt do it cos i was under 21

Take out a policy, pay for it.

Then cancel it after 1 day..

(There's a 5 day cooling off period for insurance policies).

If you take out a policy and cancel it, even after 1 day they will not give full refund on your policy, only a % back. (Have a friend who works in insurance)

Most companies will ensure a second car on policy, or transfer policy from existing to new car. for a limited time

All else fails, find a mate with a flat bed, or get someone to pick it up who is insured to drive any motor

JB, I took out an insurance policy on the car, decided I'd need to do it anyay, but have since cancelled it, seeing as the car was off the road and I cant drive at the moment anyway.
