    But that would be immoral, and a slap in the face for all those nice insurance people who bend over backwards to assist you in the event you are ever required to call upon their services. How could you sleep at night?

    Not necessarily. They usually want to know where the vehicle is kept overnight (e.g. I once used a friend's garage who lived miles away from my home, for my 2nd car) and where it is usually parked during the day (e.g. office car park).

    So for my own circumstances, the registered address is my permanent address, but the car is usually kept at my temporary address which I rent near the client site if working away from home.

    Bought it off mu cousin for £400 and to be honest I can't fault it. A v reg pug 206 with 70,000 miles on the clock. It looks like tulip but it's done what I needed it to do! Just need it to last for another 12 months and then will trade it in for another, better car
    Are you sure your not a permie?

    This is what I do when temporary renting near client sites when working away from home.

    started a topic Car Insurance

    Car Insurance

    I currently own 2 cars - neither are worth much. i keep one at home up north and one stays down here for commuting between where I stay and the train station. Where I live is in a high insurance group and where I stay is in a very low one. Periodically I swap the cars over when one needs a service etc, usually when I have to pick my son up from school in Worcester. So when it comes to insuring them, what address should be used? They will both spend about half of the year in the cheaper location. The difference is a drop from 550 to 600 down to about 300 a year, on both cars.
