Hi does anyone know ,When I have bought new cars before the Manufacturer offers like 7 day free insurance to get you out and on the road it is a service to make things easier for them to tax the car etc.
TIA

Skoda do it. It's called drive away insurance and yes helps them sort out tax on the car.
-
Some insurance companies do it also, for buying second had cars. My first car 'dealer' offered it to us. Although at 17 i wasnt eligable
-
Just had it with mine, helps the dealer! did'nt do much for me because I just told my current insurance company I was changing cars and when to stop the cover on the old one and when to start the cover on the new one!
But if its free! take it....

VW Insurance (VWI) did 7 days for me when I bought my R 5/6 weeks ago. My dealer gave me their telephone number and another number I had to give them during the 'phone call, then I got an email from VWI outlining the cover and they also emailed the dealer so they could tax it. :happy2:

They did ot for me too and I got my R32 used from a VW Stealer last year !

Bought my Gti from Inchcape VW and got the same type of cover... I did ask them for a quote but they were a tad off the mark !!!!!

Hi
Thanks Guys my boys polo arrives this week and it would make things easy to get the free insurance for a week , but hes only 18 so we will see if he is eligible

I just arranged the free 7 day cover for collecting my car on thurs. Their number is 0800 316 7892. You will need the dealers dealer number. Their excess is quite high for the temp cover though and they weren't very competitive for a years insurance.
