Title: Temporary Insurance for 20yr Old
Post by: jonnyb on 07 March 2009, 18:39

I was wondering if anyone knows a company who will offer 1 or 2 day long insurance for a 20yr old driver.  I have been looking for some time now, and every company i find only cater for over 21's.

Basically im wanting to buy a golf mk3 soon, and drive it back home, ready for when im home from uni.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would be getting a gti, so 2L 8v.

It shouldn't make much difference on the engine size, as i know i can afford the yearly insurance on this car, so a 1 or 2 day cost will not be a problem.

The reason i don't want to take out a yearly cover now, is that i wont be driving the car for a few months.  I just don't want to miss out on a cheap/good car that may become available before the time i need a car.

try dayinsure.co.uk - dunno if they will cover you or no but.

alternatively take out proper insurance and cancel it within the cancellation period but you will pay an admin fee.

I got this a couple of years back for 2 days from direct line which cost around 24 quid.  I was over 21 though so that might stand in your way.
