    Default Temporary insurance

    Need info asap...

    Need to insure my brother's Cavalier for tomorrow as an emergency. I've had a quick gander online but they don't seem to insure 'modified' cars.

    Even Sky insurance who have a site also don't insure 'modified' cars.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Rep to anyone who directs me to useful sites

    is it already insured??

    have you checked your policy to see if you have third party cover when driving other vehicles etc..?

    Not tried flux yet as they didnt turn up in any searches in google. It's insured already and so am I on the Nova but classic insurance doesn't give use of another car.

    I had temp cover with them a few years back, I did have another car insured with them at the time though, not sure if that makes a difference or not. Worth a try

    Mr Tek have you tried Herts insurance? They do short terms on modified.

    No short term insurers I know (including our sister company) will insure anything but a lock stock standard UK car.

    Ps, add yourself as a named driver to your brother's policy.
