Given an old car

rahmalec

Forgive me if this is a stupid question.

So my wife's brother was given a new car by a relative. They want to now give us their old car (2002 Avensis) to her. She at the moment has a 1998 Corolla which has been well looked after over the years. They're both due the nct soon so the plan was to bring them both through the test and keep the one that passes.

The one problem though, I'd need to drive the brother's car from Dublin to Galway. They already have their new car so the Avenis is sitting in the driveway with only a tax and nct disk.

Is it simple to get insured on it for a short time to get it through the test while the wife still being able to drive the Corolla? What's the best was of doing this?

If the cars not in your name can you drive it under third party extension?( check your insurance policy)
,or do a temp transfer on your insurance.

Call up your insurance and adk them to transfer to the new car temporarily.
They will charge you a fee.
Not sure if you can give them multiple staggered dates at the same time.
