Insurance for test driving cars - spoiler
I'm looking at buying a used car & wondered about the insurance i would need for test driving. If i were selling a car for a reasonable amount, i would want the person to be fully comp.

So, my insurance company weren't too competitive about insuring me fully comp for any car. Any other ways round this?

If you buy from a dealer or trader, their insurance should cover you to drive the car (only third party, of course). If buying privately, you need a policy that covers you for driving other cars not belonging to you. It's unlikely the seller's policy will cover you to drive the car. And if you damage it, they'd probably expect you to buy it...
