How to arrange insurance when buying a used car? There are many ways to go about this, learn about them more below!
If this is your first time buying a used car you might worry about how to tackle buying insurance; perhaps you only bought a new car before that came with an insurance policy you kept renewing. Don’t worry! Buying car insurance nowadays is a thankfully smooth process online, after which you might even start to regret renewing your default policy without comparing quotes to get the best value for your money!
Can you transfer the insurance already on the vehicle?
We will presume that you have met the seller of the vehicle, negotiated the price, and both agreed to go make the official transfer of ownership process, which requires having an insurance policy for that car under your name. Note that if the current insurance policy is valid for more than nine months, you can ask for the insurance to be transferred! (check our previous blog: Can a car insurance policy be transferred to a new owner if the vehicle is sold?) It might be worth considering if this applies.
The kiosks at the Vehicle Inspection Centre
Your first option is buying an insurance policy at the Vehicle Inspection Centre so right before you go through the inspection and ownership transfer process. You can visit one of the kiosks in the Inspection Centre to get an insurance policy, but that might not be the best thing to do as you might get better deals online, and when the insurance seller can’t count on being your only resort.
Choosing the easiest way: online insurance
Another option is taking a few minutes to fill a form on an online insurance comparison website, and hopefully one that offers you a dedicated personal shopper to help you through the process. This way you can view and assess the top few quotes tailored to your needs and make an informed decision. Of course, you might have some doubts about buying insurance online, that’s why we’d urge you to read our previous blog: Is it safe to purchase car insurance online?
