Hello, I was supposed to be buying a car tomorrow and I have set up the insurance policy to start tomorrow, however the seller has told me he cant sell it till tuesday now as he is waiting for his new car. I cant change my insurance policy start date online, and I am not sure what to do? Is it a issue that I have taken out the insurance a couple days early, I am obviously not driving it until i have bought it. Please advise and help. many thanks mitch

No, it's not a problem at all, other than costing you a couple of quid.

Would only be a problem if the facts were the other way round and you got the car early.

What if the car is involved in an accident though? Would it be a claim against the policy?

No. It won't come into effect until the OP is the registered keeper.

If you're worried, just drop your insurers a note stating that due to seller issues you've not yet taken ownership of the car.
