• Insurers' refusal to backdate certificate 18 Aug 2008 (Forum)
  Insurers advised that they had sent it to me in good time but it must have got lost in the post, but nevertheless they would send me a duplicate one at no extra charge. The so called duplicate certificate arrived on 14th stating that my cover was starting from 13th and not 1st. Showing therefore, in spite of my paying, no cover for 12 days. No amount of me going up the chain of responsibility will get them to give me a certificate dated from 1st.
• Roadside Recovery Woes 27 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  It was stuck in gear and disengaging gear proved near impossible... 2 hours from the initial call the truck turns up (not an AA vehicle, but a third party garage), excellent i thought especially at 2am! With the car being stuck in gear the driver moved on to tell me it would cost an extra £105 + vat to get off the motorway as he would need to go "specialist". Thinking I was covered under my AA policy I queried this to be told I would only be covered for a basic recovery...

• Test Drive Insurance 30 Nov 2020 (Forum)
  I sold a car recently, thankfully the guy was serious and insured the vehicle before turning up. My insurance only covers me to drive. It allows me to drive other cars on third party basis. If you have someone with no car, it is unlikely they have any form of insurance (not even third party).
• Insurance and potential buyers 19 Jul 2003 (Forum)
  I'm about to sell one of my cars and wondered how fellow posters deal with the issue of buyers test driving cars. If I let a buyer drive my car with me as passenger and then he crashes the car I won't be covered by my insurance. Should I refuse the buyers request however they aren't going to be too happy.

• 1999 Rover 75 Diesel 30 May 2013 (Forum)

It is one of his fleet cars and has been solely owned by the company since new. The problem lies with the mileage.
