Can someone help with my query please.
My nephew is planning to go on a travelling holiday for a month and leaves next week. While chatting to him today on the phone, he asked me if I’d like to look after his car, but also I could drive it, if I so wish. He has suggested that I’d get my own insurance cover to drive it, rather than put me as a named driver, on his policy.
It’s a Porsche Cayman, very nice and I’m happy to look after it for him, but I’m not sure what type of insurance cover is needed, or whether you can have his insurance running while another is for me to drive. Question is, he leaves it at my place, on the drive, with his own insurance covering it against theft. I then take out insurance to drive it on the days I need, which would probably only be 3 or 4 occasions, in the month he is away.
Firstly, can you have his insurance covering the car, while parked up and secoundly, can I get insurance for individual days that I require to drive it? Or is this not acceptable or possible?
I need to know pretty quickly, as he hopes to leave Thursday and will need an answer from me by tomorrow evening.
Cheers
