Caterham Temporary Insurance

[sailorjerry]

As per the title, I'm struggling to find anyone to cover me to drive a borrowed Caterham Roadsport 125 for a few days. Car belongs to a dealer the policy they have only covers accompanied test drives.

Tried all the usual suspects and no luck, none of the specialist brokers seem to offer temporary cover and all the temp specialists refuse to cover a Caterham.

Bit out of ideas, has anyone managed this before?

Cheers

Have you asked your own insurer?

[sailorjerry]

yeah my current insurer won't cover any form of kit car

If the Caterham was factory built then it isn't any kind of kit car at all.

Also take a you could try asking this question in the Caterham part of PH, they might have more ideas.

Plus Caterhams are generally cheaper to insure than Elises, M3s, Imprezas etc...

[sailorjerry]

No problems at all getting a full year's cover, plenty of cheap quotes, but to insure the car for one day to get a proper feel of it its seeming impossible.

If the car is currently owned by an individual (rather than a garage) could you ask to be added to their policy for a short period as a named driver?

Can you not take out a years policy and then cancel within the 14 day period ? There would obviously be an admin charge but it won't be massive.

Yeah I managed to find single day cover but was 8 years ago now so maybe things have changed. Norwich Union via dayinsure.com
