Add Car to Insurance for Just a Week?

Question

Has anyone ever added a car to their insurance for just a week. The car is my parents and they have insurance under geico and I have insurance under progressive. We are going out of town and would like to borrow the car but to be on the safe side we would like to add it to the insurance for the time we are outta town. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

if the car is your dads he can put you down as a named driver on is insurance it will cost about £20 or if you are insured with your car you can drive it but third party only  but check you insurance

Answer 2

Insurance follows the car.  The car should be covered under your parents policy as long as they gave you permission to borrow it.  You can't insure someone else's vehicle.  Its like buying insurance for your neighbor's house.  You don't own it, so you can't insure it.

Answer 3

waste of time if it has insurance drive it but  you could have either one of your names add to the  other insurance as drivers of the car now thats easy and can be done over the phone in most cases

Answer 4

You can't insure a car that does not legally belong to you (meaning the title for the car and the registration is not in your name).

Now if you are borrowing their car for a week and you have their permission to drive the car for the week, and you are already rated on your own policy, you will be ok since you have your parents permission to use their car.

You cannot add it to your insurance for a week since you don't own the car, BUT you will be ok to drive the car as long as #1 you have a valid drivers license #2 you have permission to use the car

Answer 5

i loaned my Mum my car and added it to my insurance for one week it cost £11, well worth it.

Answer 6

OK first of all you have to be titled on the car to insure it.  so your parent have to insure it.  if you do not live with them and are borrowing it with their permission, you are covered under their policy to drive it.  if you do live with them, they need to add you as a driver to their policy to cover you to drive it.  simple as that
