i cant find a definitive answer anywhere ?

old car insurance expires 1 st febuary , when should new cert start 1st or 2nd ?

previously i would renew same day as expiry, just checking if this is usual

any advice most welcome , thanks

Probably depends on the time the policy covers. My last policy ended at 23:59:59 and current one starts at 00:00:00 the next day. I guess the main thing is that there is no gap in cover, whatever time one policy ends and the next begins.

old one starts feb 1 00:00:01 and ends 31 jan 23:59:59 so if i go for a new one starting 1 feb , there will be two seconds of non cover - does this break coverage records ?

Obviously, insurers have renewal bridging cover available for €100. You could just park up for a minute to be on the safe side.

obviously ?
so most people are losing coverage every year for a second or two
how has this not been hilighted yet ?


or everyone is renewing a day earlier every year ?

example : old expires 23:59:59 on december 31 ,( end of the day ) means you would have to have new policy starting december 31 at start of the same day , and not the next day so as to avoid the 2 second gap

and the next year - as a consequence of this
your policy ends at the end of december 30 23:59:59 so your new one would have to begin december 30 00:00:01

next year a new one on december 29

and so on a day earlier each year

makes no sense

You post makes no sense. Mine was a (apparently) poor attempt at humour
