insurance ques

looking4advice

My bro is off travelling around the world for my year. He has given me his car to use while he is gone. Ive just rang up for a quote and I need to have the car transferred to my name. Obviously he will need the car when he comes back so it will have to be transferred back again.

How do I go about it and is there any tax issues? (ie no money is changing hands). The car is 2003.

As the guy above me said, it's literally just the log book you need, fill in the details, sign it and send it off to Shannon, you'll get a new one back within 3 weeks or so and the car is yours

does my brother not have to sign anything? Will my insurance be invalid until the log book comes back? Would it be easy to chnage back.

Thanks for answers so far!

Well, he has to sign the log book over, but that's literally just one signature, and that's it.

Oh, and you can drive while waiting for the log book, and insurance should be fine.

The only down side is that you'll be adding two more previous owners to the cars history. Not a major concern though. No tax issues or anything like that, its just a simple change of ownership. Fill in the VLC (log book) and send it to Shannon.
