Short term insurance

    Guys,

    When I lived in Ireland, I had a Skoda taxed & insured in my name. When I moved back to Aus, I gave it to my brother in law. We changed the tax & insurance etc to him.

    I am going to be back in Ireland for xmas & he is going to let us use the car.

    Do I need to get my own short term ploicy to cover me driving it or do I need him to make me a named driver on his policy? What if his wife is already a named driver? How many can you have?

    Thanks

    Get him to add you as a named driver. You can have many named drivers.

    Thanks, I'll have a word to him.

    Do I need to prove I have insurance over here for my car in Aus or anything?

    You are being added to his policy, all I would imagine you need is your current valid driver's licence. Get your brother to ask his insurance company first though.

    All the insurance company need is your nationality/dob/licence number and how long you'll need to be added.

    They will probably want some cash too.

    It might work out cheaper to get yourself added as a permanent additional driver as opposed to a temporary additional driver (just make sure your bro takes you off the policy once you're back in OZ).
