Do you need Insurance for Tax?

Obviously you need an MOT for tax, but what about insurance?

rags

 

Yep.

 

I think a cover note will do..........

 

yeah you have to show your insurance certificate when buying tax. or a cover not will also do.

They arent supposed to accept faxed ones so I'm told but I have got tax in the past with a faxed cover note.

 

hope they take a faxed one.

 

Nope. not usually

 

I've never had a faxed one excepted......

 

an insurance company should be able to issue you with a cover note within 24hrs........

 

I think they are getting a bit strict about it latley. Most insurance companies can get you out a certificate of insurance or cover note within 48hrs.

Edit - ha ha. you beat me too it!!
