Organise the paperwork and insurance before a dealer handover.
Organise the paperwork and insurance before a dealer handover.
A dealer may supply paperwork in advance. Use it to confirm the number plate, vehicle details and planned collection appointment. Do not arrange cover against an estimated registration if the car will be delivered on different plates.
Some dealerships offer a drive-away scheme; others expect you to arrange your own insurance. Ask what is actually included and for how long. If you arrange GreenOnMID cover, it must be accepted by the insurer before you drive away.
A temporary collection policy may help with one journey, but you need suitable insurance for continued use. Check vehicle tax arrangements and any requirements imposed by a lender or finance agreement.
No. Ask the dealer for written confirmation of any included drive-away cover.
Possibly, if the insurer accepts the vehicle, driver and proposed use.
