Title: Insurance
Post by: mart on 12 May 2008, 17:42: I'm picking up my GTI on Friday, and wondered what is the best way to insure. Should I go for the free week's insurance that is offered through the dealer (any catches?) or just go ahead with my own insurance.

Never had a new car before so don't know what is best!

Cheers,
Mart

I agree !

Sorted mine for taxing purposes with the free weeks insurance - it saved me getting and taking a cover note to the dealer ..... which I always hate having to sort out. Rang my insurer and changed over in the normal way - just had no worries about things havng to arrive in the post.
