Car Insurance For 1 Day To Test Drive A Car?

Reader’s Question:

Hey, can i really get car insurance for one day? Ok heres my problem, im planning to buy my friends car next month so i just thought i might need a car insurance for that day just to test drive it before i buy it. So im not really sure whether i need to get car insurance or not….Do you know the usual process by any chance? Or should I let the seller drive it for me? Great site by the way!

Hey Tom! Well I think the only way that you can test drive the seller’s car, is for the owner to list you as a driver on his car insurance policy. If the seller cant do that, then he will have to drive the car for you. Or maybe you can go somewhere that is a private ground so you can test drive it.

Its easy to tell if the car has a problem or if it looks ok even if you are not driving the car…

Watch out for the gear lever when changing down the gearbox…. Listen for whining noises from wheel bearings, engine, gearbox etc.

But of course, theres always car insurance that you can purchase for one day if you really want to.

Goodluck!
