Insurance after ban

[albazeus]

Good morning,

 

I have recently completed a ban for DD40 in Scotland. I'm required to sit an extended test as is the mandatory sentencing guidelines. I have that test booked in 6 weeks however I have seen a good deal on a car and would like to purchase it before hand and have it delivered.

 

My question is what type of insurance do I go for as the car will be sat on my driveway unused. I had considered SORN however my brother is going to drive it 2 or 3 times over the 6 week period (using temp insurance cover) to give it a run so SORN won't be an option.

 

Also I have had to reapply for my driving licence and this of course it now a provisional however I have 5 years NCD from my previous car that I have confirmed with Axa is still valid so do I declare this on a new insurance policy?

 

 I also held my licence previously for 11 years with no convictions, points etc. Adrian Flux had confirmed to me that when applying for insurance I should be stating that I have held my licence for 11 years and not the few months I have had the provisional. All very confusing.

 

The main question would be am I better off calling a particular insurer and explaining the situation as the comparison sites don't have an option for my current situation.

I think you will certainly be best of dealing directly with an insurer. Being completely open and squeakyclean about everything and not me that confirming in writing what you have told them. Don't hold anything back and make sure you keep a copy of any information which you have supplied them.

I'm sure you realise that this is the time to start cleaning everything up rather than being on the edge

Best to call a major insurer and ask these questions. 

Record the call.

Then run a quote on a comparison site to have an idea of how much it will cost.

TAKE A VIDEO OF THIS PROCESS, lokk online to see how.

Then choose the insurance company you like and call them to seal the deal.

RECORD THE CALL!

Goes without saying,  be extremely honest with them about everything.

Lastly, make sure you RECORD THE CALL!
