Temporary Insurance to MOT and Sell

[finger_nails_are_pretty]

Hi, I'm looking to sell my Kawasaki er5 and think it would be worth MOTing to get a better sale. I will need insurance to take it to the centre and am looking at the cheapest options. I could see if they collect and drop off but may cost.

Do you know any daily/payg insurance providers?

Thanks.

Having the bike picked up and delivered may be cheaper and a lot less headache than finding an insurer that will insure you for just one day and then paying for a day's insurance.

Don't you know anyone with a van? Have you tried asking here and offering diesel money + beer? Or, if you have a license rent a van for a day and take it yourself.

Probably cheaper to have the shop collect it.

Thanks for that, what could I expect to pay for pickup? I also need insurance to tax it but maybe its not worth taxing.

30 quid a day or something stupid to insure

until we know how far the bike has to go to mot, we can't say how much pickup would be

About 3 to 5 miles.

garage charged me £25 for moving my van a similar distance, so maybe close to that

Have been here before.
There are now no temp/day insurance for motorcycles.
The continuous insurance rules killed them off apparently.

Best you can go for is the company who does monthly policies.
I'm sure someone will be along to remind me of the name. (or Google).

Find the insurer with the lowest "cost of setting up the policy" charge, insure, cancel within the statutory 14 day cooling off period.

The FSO has upheld up to (I believe) £50 as being reasonable, which it clearly isn't, so shop around. Sadly, actual contracts are much harder to compare than headline prices.

Cheers guys, think I'll go with a collect and deliver to save the ballache.

can you not just hire a van for a couple of hours?

Plus the fact if you insure for the day.

You will also need to tax for the day.

Then cancel the tax and SORN when you cancel the insurance.

Under CIS though you can't have a vehicle insured without tax.

So insuring to get an MOT to get the tax is in breach of CIS until you get the VED. Unles there is a provision that allows for it?

So while you can have insurance without MOT, CIS mandates that you can't have a vehicle insured without VED.

Or have I got something wrong there?

I managed to arrange a pickup and deliver for £20 on a Saturday morning. MOT £25 and a service for £120. Not going to bother taxing, so a quick wash down and it will be ready to go.

Put an ad on Shiply maybe, a local man with van might help you out for next to nothing. I got a KTM Delivered 300 miles for ~£70 on there.

If I was to cancel the insurance on my enfield after 7 days, it would have cost me about £33 (£30 + £155 x 7/365)

I passed my A licence at about 10am in the morning, drove my car home, insured the bike online, booked an MOT, then drove it to the tester after lunch, then drove it down the street to the nearest post office, where I taxed it using the still wet from the printer MOT certificate and my freshly printed insurance certificate.

Does the DVLA send out MOT reminders a month before the current MOT is due to expire? just curious.
