  • Insurance cover in EU countries 25 Nov 2003 (Forum)
    from the UK. TPO cover would be fine, so do I have to inform my insurers of this fact - or am I automatically covered for this period? BTW, insurance in Ireland is quite pricey!:-( Cheers.

  • Yaris Aircon - regassing warranty cover 13 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    Recently bought a Toyota Yaris for wife, car will be 3 years old in October. The aircon seems to take 3 or 4 minutes before delivering cool air and is not as cold as in my car, so I suspect it needs a re-gas. Would this be covered as a warranty fix or is it 'wear and tear' like brake pads?
  • Driving other cars 6 Sep 2006 (Forum)
    Am I allowed to drive it? I seem to get the impression from 'others' that as the OWNER does not currently have insurance cover on the car, it cannot be driven on the public roads. If this is the case, how is it different for me to drive the car with third party cover as opposed to the registered driver driving it with the like cover!
  • Insurance for 2nd car while selling? 1 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    Presumably this would only cover third parties and wouldn't cover any damage to my car should they have a bump? Second question: considering it was previously costing me £180 for the year to cover the Polo, fully comp, to be driven regularly, I was surprised to be quoted £26 for four weeks insurance as an additional car, third party fire and theft only, when the likelihood is it will do 100 miles if that during the period.
  • Test Drive Insurance 30 Nov 2002 (Forum)

  • Trade policy - vehicles driven by someone else 1 Sep 2008 (Forum)
    My girlfriend is not on my trade policy but she's on her own comprehensive policy on her car. She is covered to drive any other cars as long as the car does not belong to her and insured. Is she going to be covered to drive one of my stock cars with my consent? I assume all of my cars are covered by my insurance because this is a trade policy?
