Private-sale test drives
A private seller may not have cover that allows prospective buyers to drive. Ask the seller’s permission, check the vehicle and arrange your own suitable insurance before the test drive.
Dealer test drives
Some dealers provide test-drive insurance, but the eligibility and excess may differ. Confirm what the dealer provides before buying separate cover.
A short period does not mean fewer checks
Driver and vehicle eligibility still apply. Review the full price, cover and restrictions before payment, and do not drive until the certificate confirms the policy is active.

Enter accurate details, review the insurer and regulatory disclosure, and wait for active policy confirmation before driving.
