When Would You Use Drive Away Insurance?
Nowadays, you can get an insurance policy for pretty much anything you need, from 1 day insurance to a complete annual insurance policy. So what exactly is drive away insurance, and when might you use it?
Drive away insurance is meant for short term situations, like when you’ve bought a new car and need to drive it home from the garage. In Britain (and most parts of the world), you need insurance to be able to drive a car anywhere, even if it is just a short trip home. Many people will have already sorted out annual insurance, particularly for a new car which is meant to replace the old one and will be added to the new policy. For others however, drive away insurance is not only cheaper but is far more convenient. Let’s take a quick look at two of the circumstances where this may be true:
-You’ve bought a new car and want to get it home, but you won’t be using it straight away.
-You’re buying a car for someone as a gift, and so only need insurance in your name to get it home.
As you can probably tell, in either of these instances a yearly policy would be a waste of money and time, as it’s just not necessary. Taking out drive away insurance in either of these instances would allow you to get the car home without having to fork out a small fortune in insurance costs.
Drive away insurance is also extremely convenient, as it counts as a form of temporary car insurance, meaning the policy will be automatically cancelled after the specified period, so you don’t need to worry about removing the policy once you’ve driven the car home.
Another benefit to using drive away insurance is that you can take it out alongside your normal policy, so if you have just bought a car for a relative, you can take out drive away insurance safe in the knowledge that if you do have a accident on the way home, you’ll not only be covered but it won’t affect your main policy’s no-claims bonus.
So that’s my brief guide to drive away car insurance, just one extremely convenient form of short term car insurance cover available on the current market.
