I have tried a few on-line Insurance Co's for just one days insurance so that I can test drive a car I am thinking of buying. I'm no spring chicken, more NCD than a saint, and live in a reasonable area. So far, all declined to quote! Do A-plan offer this service?

Have you tried tempcover.com? My son used them late last year for a Land Rover.

In my experience it really depends on the value and insurance group. Many temporary cover policies don’t support more powerful or valuable vehicles. I couldn’t get any to do that for our BMW M2 Competition, heck not even BMW was offering their drive away insurance for it.

I've used Dayinsure before when driving a mate's car, found it quick and easy, cost me around £25 for the day.

A quick Google also comes up with the following:

Tried most of them. Got fed up typing in all my details to have them decline, hence asking.

I always thought you could add one to your existing policy, but could obviously be wrong. You must have tried that first.... and ended up having to look elsewhere.... 2011 Range Rover Vogue SE 4.4 TDV8

Previous cars :
2003 Range Rover Vogue TD6
1999 Discovery Td5 ES
1995 BMW M5 3.8 6 speed
1992 Range Rover 3.9 Efi Vogue
1992 BMW M5 3.8
1988 BMW 735i SE
1989 Ford Sierra XR4x4 2.9i
1981 Ford Fiesta Supersport

Or you could be added as a named driver on their insurance if push comes to shove.....

These seem to offer it.....

Yes they do, until you type in RR Vogue. UH URR Computer says no!

My daughter uses a "by the hour" service on line when she has found the need to share the driving on a mates car, or borrowing one of ours!

I can drive any car third party, with the owners permission. Thought that was standard with most policies.

What I meant was add it to yours fully comp?

Perhaps Craig may offer a better solution....

I'd be interested in what company she uses, driving a Vogue? I can't find one. Must have tried at least a dozen now.

Sorry for the misunderstanding... She doesn't get to drive MY car! But she can borrow our loan cars ie a Golf and she has insured my D2 Bobtail last year... I'll ask her for their name tomorrow sir

As I said before; the issue is the value of the cars and the insurance groups. Short term insurance doesn’t do that generally. It is just too risky.
