good question raj and i'm wanting to know this myself as im wanting a 5 campus to run around in over the winter, but i have a feeling it needs its own policy

you can use the green slip as long as the date you've put that you got the car is within the last 3 months :)

gt nutter yes own policy unless you do multi car which is a con, i tried to insure my 5 and the family car in my name thinking i'd only be able to crash one at a time etc, but its a no go, so god knows how a single person coes with 2 cars just cant figure it out, only logic seems to be they get more money!

the vehicle you are taxing requires its own insurance, (it makes no difference if its fully comp or even third party) you may also use a trade policy. green slips fine along with valid mot..:agree:.

crap dont have a green slip so nothing to do with log book can i tax it online now as its up close of play tommorrow and be immediatly covered?

The car would have to be registered in your name mate.
If you do it online, they will send it to the registered keepers address.

You can only drive another car when your fully comp, when the other car is insured. somethimes you can't, depends on insurance company

I have two cars insured in my name, but they only let you use no-claims on one policy, tried using the two cars one policy service some people offer, but as soon as i read the first three mods on the 5's list they said no. Thank feck i'm old and therefore cheap :-D
