Insurance Help!

[Baz69birds]

Me & My Family are going away.. soon on a CAMPING WEEKEND..

& We have been lent a friends People Carrier,

as hireing a car was (£150+)

Have asked my insurer can i insure it

& they have said no as its in his name..

His insurance wont let him add me to his policy as he already has 2 cars & 2 named drivers & this people carrier stays in garage untill its needed & then gets insured (as its cheaper for him??)

He has also told me many of his friends have used it before & they have insured it.. via there insurance.

Can anyone help me on this MATTER..

as going away in 2weeks..

wont your subaru insurance cover you for 3rd party cover?? on someone elses car?

Can you swap your scooby policy over to the people carrier whilst your away - ok, it might mean the scoobs not insured but if its securely locked away whilst you're off that shouldn't be a problem. However, it looks as if your problem is with the fact that the people carrier is in someone elses name?

Tried posting up on Essex' site on SN? - they always seem to have people working in the right areas

his People carrier IS NOT INSURED untill he wants to drive it.

I CANT GET insured as the car is in his name??

(sorry basser) i cant have my scoob unensured with the 6 times its been broken into this year & attempted theft.

Mine will insure as 3rd party. But his people carrier is NOT INSURED.

does this help any more???

p.s have done on ESSEX & have been given some sites for weekend cover & day cover.. so will check them later.
