Test Drive Insurance?

[[TC]►Ash◄]

Hello

Possibly going to look at a car tomorrow, its at a small dealership about 5 miles from me.

Im potentially wanting to test drive it, how am i covered for insurance? My own fully comp policy does not allow me to DOC (drive other cars), probably due to my age. Do dealerships have their own insurance to cover me? How can i tell if they do?

Cheers

Ash

I think their insurance covers it if they use dealer plates. Not sure though.

It'll be covered by their trade insurance, you shouldn't have to do anything with your own

If it's a dealership, you will be fine cos of their trade policy. But, if not, phone up your company and see what they say.

I'm under 21 so couldnt get any day insurance quotes, but phoned up Admiral today and asked to add the car I wanted to test drive on my policy as a short term car (2 days) and it cost me something like £15.76 to cover me. My current policy is on a 1.1 Pug 106 and added a 106 GTI (1.6 16v) onto the policy with no hasstle what so ever. I'm only TPF&T too.

Don't know about all places, but some at least will only allow you to test drive if your over some age, think its 24 or 21.
