Hi

I need a bit of advice regarding insurance and Road Tax on my old car when I trade it in for my new Civic.

When I bought my current car, I didn't have one to trade in, so the car tax and insurance started on the 1st March, this time when I pick my Civic up (again on the 1st of March) the tax and insurance will have run out on my current car. I'm trying to figure out how I can take my old car into the dealers on the 1st March and pickup my new Civic.

I could tax my old car for six months, and take out the tax disc to get a refund for the remaining 5 months, but what about the insurance. Do insurance companies offer really short term policies for this sort of occurance?

Would I be better off taking the car to the dealers on the last day of February? (Oh s**t that would mean catching a bus home

)
