My wife's car insurance is up on the 10th April
She is in the process of changing car but unlikely to have new car until the following week
So we have 2 options ?
1. Insure in old car and switch over after a week or 2 . But then we are tied to that particular I suave company who may not be the most competitive for the new car
2. She could let her insurance lapse and get a lift to and from work of its only for a few days / a week. But will this adversely affect insurance in any way by having a gap ?

You can have a gap up to two years and keep your NCB so option 2 is your best bet I'd say.
