Quick Insurance Question

    Hi All,
    I had a quick look at the charter and couldn't see if this question was appropriate for this forum - feel free to move if it belongs elsewhere.

    Anyway, my question ...

    I am buying my first car this week, and have received a reasonable quotation for insurance from Quinn. The seller of the car wants to transfer insurance this week, but I don't even have my provisional license yet.

    Can I insure the car without having a license? - obviously I will not be driving it, but would like to be covered against theft. Is there a special policy I should take or should I just take the policy (3rd party, F&T) from quinn and say nothing ?

    Thanks in advance,
    Sean

    As far as I know, you will need at least a provisional licence to get insurance.

    If you hide something from your insurer, and they find out, your policy is null and void.

    Anyway, if you're not driving, just register the car as off the road and don't bother insuring it.

    :confused:The transfer of the seller's insurance is irrelevant. That's a matter for him/her and their insurance company. It's got nothing to do with the buyer.
