Stupidly as an incentive to my best mate to pass his test I said to him that i would give him a shot of my Monte when we go to donington next month for the btcc. (It's a motorway all the way and it has cruise control so all he has to do is steer what could go wrong?  )

 

well today he went and pasted and ive been looking at single day insurance companies and they all seem to a min of 6 months driving? 

 

Does anyone know any companies that will do it for less?

 

I would expect there must be someone as if you pass your test and you want to test drive a car privately you'll need to find cover?

 

Well, there is the slightly dubious way of buying a normal policy (most likely one that comes in monthly instalments to minimise upfront costs) then terminating it under the 14 days law. It will still likely be eye-wateringly expensive and if anything happens expect to have to pay the policy off in full.

 

What about adding him as a named driver on your own policy?

He doesn't have to know just tell him it's a day insurance then remove him after however many days

Think I've changed my mind now! 

 

He got his first car yesterday and I went over to see it and he wanted to take me out in a run in it. 

 

First thing he he did was reverse into the front of my Monte!

Well at least you can void the offer of letting him drive it now

Broken number plate and a couple of cracked plastic bits out of sight behind the bumper that's all, he bought me a new plate straight away lol. 

 

Not a mark on his though!
