The requirements for eligibility for short term car insurance
To be eligible for short term car insurance, you must be a driver who
is at least 23 years of age up to 75 years of age; however, this can
vary between the insurance companies that are offering the short term
car insurance. You just have to check with each one that you look into
to see what the age requirements are.
For the most part, in order to qualify to get the insurance, a driver
is required to have had a UK driving licence for at least a year. If a
driving licence is from Canada, Australia or the United States, it
usually does not get accepted, so check with the insurance company
before you would go and make any plans. Restrictions will be applied
for the driving licenses that were gotten outside of the UK.
Keep in mind, too, that any disqualifications, previous insurance
claims and penalty points could affect whether or not you are eligible
to get short term car insurance. Usually, someone who has six or more
penalty points on their license or has received a disqualification
during the last five years cannot get short term coverage.
To get short term car insurance, there are certain specifications that
your vehicle must meet too. They are:
*If your vehicle is not registered in Northern Ireland or Great
Britain, it is usually not covered.
*Your vehicle cannot be an import unless it is by a car dealer that is
certified.
*If your vehicle can hold more than seven or eight people or has more
than seven or eight seats, including the driver's seat, then short
term car insurance normally will not cover it.
*You cannot use your vehicle for the hauling of hazardous materials,
gas, flammables or illegal drugs.
*Your vehicle cannot have a value of more than £50,000.
*Your vehicle cannot be used for any illegal gain or the
transportation of illegal aliens.
*Your vehicle cannot be used for commercial means.
