I am picking up a new car tomorrow and changed Insurance companies.
They are not issuing a certificate of insurance and state I can print one off myself.
I know you can get tax off the internet nowadays, but do these home prints stand up with the Post Office if I buy tax the old way or get a producer from the police?
It just seems odd that although i chose the company solely on price, the cost to print a bone fide one off and send it to me would cost, say �2,25?????
As I have saved over �500 on cheapest quote it seems very odd.
I am insured with Budget and have just had my renewal quote through and it also states I can download my policy documents from their website. First time I have ever heard of this, they sent me one out last year. Why are they doing this if it is not worth the paper it is printed on?? How odd.
I'm insured with Budget as well. I printed it in Dec so I could renew my car tax but it looked rubbish. When I asked, they did send me a proper document for free but said they normally charge �10. Daylight robbery!
Ethel's is the correct answer but a self printed one is good enough to tax your car withat a post office, also your insurance details or on the DVLA database so you could tax it online.
I've just renewed with ESure, and they gave me documents to print myself, but also sent one in the post. That's never happened to me before, but at least I had a copy I could print off if I needed to, whilst waiting for the originals.
Bewlay - you saved �500 !? I'd hate to think how much you were paying with your previous insurer !
