Insurance - Cover Driving another car 26 Sep 2005 (Forum)
Now the interesting thing is that nowhere can I see anything that states any damage I do to the other car I am driving is not covered i.e. Third party cover only. In fact "the damage you cause to another person's property" clause appears to comprehensively cover any car I am driving. On the face of it if someone had an uninsured Lamborghini I could drive it with full comprehensive cover on my insurance for a group 1 Fiesta. -

Insurer won't cover courtesy car 17 Apr 2006 (Forum)
My insurers refused to cover a Citroen C3 courtesy car while my car is being serviced because the courtesy car is expensive!! They won't cover a courtesy car that is more valuable then your own car! Well then, my just over 3 year old C5 is then worthless and I can't be trusted with a nearly new supermini!. -
