Lois Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Does anyone know a company that does temp cover for motorhome test drives? Somebody is coming to see our MH tomorrow and after just checking our insurance it appears we wouldn't be covered if they wanted to test drive it. We'd be ok to drive them around in it but to me if I were parting with a lot of dosh I'd certainly want to test drive it myself. Anyone been in same position and what did you do? Thanks.

Keithl Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Lois, Either phone your insurance company and ask to add the prospective buyer to your policy for the minimum time or alternatively try Googling 'one day insurance' or similar. Keith. PS Best of luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docted Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Lois how did it go ? Did you make the sell? BTW sorry I am late with this but most insurance policies cover the policy holder to drive "any car not owned by nor rented by the policy holder" normally this would only be at Road Traffic Act level i.e. 3 rd party protection; however I would make sure that you go with putative buyers.

Guest JudgeMental Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Test what exactly..... I would not let a stranger drive my van or car ...take them for a drive and if thats not considered good enough, tell them to go to a dealer for a drive....

PJay Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Do not let prospective buyer(s) take van ALONE, always go with them, as has been said , you drive and let them sit in passenger seat. To add 1 driver to insurance usually costs about £30 for 1 week (that's what I have paid to add son , for when he used it for holiday. I doubt that you could get 1 day cover, and it would have to be done before the buyer arrived with you Good Luck with your sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all what would happen if there was an accident and it was the clear fault of the prospective purchaser? However, how many people would buy a van without driving it? I would but had thought I was in the minority as I am on many things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildi Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Hi, You can get temp cover, just Google it and there are lots of companies that do it. I did one day cover after a friend of mine passed away and his MH had to go back to the dealers for some work. His insurance wouldn't cover me and mine wouldn't cover me to drive his even though we were both insured with safeguard. Sorry I can't remember the name but I think you potential buyer would pay for this? or maybe refund them if they buy??. I think it was about £25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt that insurers would want to keep giving 1 day cover, if there are several buyers! Appears that 1 day/1 week same cost PJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
