1 Day insurance for A cat (Mod 1 & 2)

[CivilDrone]

Afternoon
I was wondering if there are insurance companies that cover for 1 day only?
Currently have A1 License and would like to borrow a 600cc bike to take to the DVSA (wont be riding there myself)
Still have over a year on a theory which means I should be good to go
Has anyone done something similar?
I have phoned DVSA and been told that I can use someone elses motorbike as long as I am insured.
Any advice on this please?
Regards

Nope, sorry, at least if you're honest.

The continuous insurance requirements seem to have killed off all short term policies.

You could take out a policy and cancel it within 14 days, but when you get quotes you'll almost certainly be asked if you are the owner and keeper of the bike, which is a no if you're borrowing someone else's.

When you say borrow a bike, do you mean from a chum? Best bet is to try and get them to put you on their insurance temporarily, but most insurers - bar Bikesure - are likely to say no to that, and even then you might get stitched up like a kipper on the cost.

What you absolutely should not do is to blag the bike, tick the "yes I am insured" box and hope for the best, knowing that if it's showing on the MID then you're vanishingly unlikely to be stopped during the 40 minutes of mod 2 test.

That entirely depends on how much the bike's owner trusts you, as it'll be their license and financial loss on the line (potentially a very large amount for 3rd party claims if their insurer pays out and then chases them to recover it) if you stack it.

The only really legal way to do it is to buy your own bike, insure it through Bikesure or some other lot who will cover you on your provisionaL entitlement, and find a way to get the bike to / from the test centre (van, trailer, or licensed and insured mate rides it in).

I got one day insurance from Tempcover.com near the beginning of May this year.
While I have no idea how much it would cost you, it cost me £30 on the same bike that cost me £100 to insure for the year.

Why not speak to a local training school to see what they could do for you?

Thanks for all the info
I have tried Tempcover before posting on here and quoted £50 a day, which might sound high but reasonable since not really liable to ride the bike
Will probably go with that and update what happends

£50 a day That's a licence to print money.

Saying that though it was £27 to insure someone on my CMax for the day with one of these temporary insurers and to put him as a named driver on my own insurance was £40 something.

A question - How can you have a temporary insurance policy on a car/bike already insured? I thought only one policy was allowed at the time on a vehicle?
