Short term UK Insurance and recovery
Dear All,
I'm having trouble getting sensible answers for 1 months third party insurance and 1 months breakdown cover for UK.
I am UK resident (well, kind of) on UK car, but will be home for only a month before the car is sold (or stored SORN). Of course we managed fine all round Africa, but all a bit different in UK.
The best I have found so far is a normal insurance policy to pay 50 quid deposit and 50 quid cancellation charges, a temp 28 day policy for 150 quid and I cannot find anything on temporary break down cover. After wading through the 'green card' thread, I don't think it applies.
Any ideas very welcome.

ebike insurance
Hi there - these guys do insurance on a month by month basis
eBike Insurance - Welcome to eBike Insurance
used them to cover my CBF just before I sold it - I needed to ride it to the garage and back, and given I live just around the corner from the police training centre who like to point cameras at me I didn't risk it - I covered the CBF for 1 month for 11.50GBP
You're looking for the 'pay as you go' policy, at the end of the month you just cancel and then the policy ends - nice and simple.
Day Insure are also worth a look
Short Term Car insurance, Van Insurance, from dayinsure.com
This is true short term insurance and you can go by the day if you want to - dirt cheap and by the looks of it they've just started insuring motorcycles (I've used them for the car only).
Fast service, easy to deal with and importantly - cheap!
Breakdown coverage a little more complicated - I don't think either of these companies offers it - but worth asking them.
