So easy and the answer to a solution while I wait to pass the car to my niece while my insurance has ended but still need to drive the car for a further few days.
Good value too so will probably see me using again!

It was good to get temp cover
It was good to get temp cover. I felt it was expensive but as it was a necessity, it was ok.
I found not being able to extend it a little frustrating and instead had to do a complete new quote and booking so admin was paid twice, but again, necessity had me pay it.
