If you, like me, are silly and haven't actually bought your insurance yet cos you're waiting until more insurers add the car to the system, Mazda Insurance will cover you for 7 days for FREE (in absence of other insurance being in place).
Why is this useful?
Well, I went today to T W Whites to sign the registration form to allow the dealer to register the car to me as the first keeper.
I haven't done my insurance yet (am going to do it over the weekend I think - Norwich Union direct through Confused.com seem to be the best as they are doing an extra £25 cash back by going through confused at the moment!!!) BUT the dealer of course needs a cover note so that they can get the Tax!
So, I called Mazda Insurance on 0800 015 7559 and although their quote was £300 more expensive than NUD they gave me a reference that the dealer can use to print off a cover note for these 7 days there and then, which obviously can be used to get the tax.
Great Idea Mazda, and well done the superb Rob from T W Whites for helping sort this out - even though there were people there wanting to buy an RX-8.
He he, there was a bloke there who had a BMW and 'wanted to do a deal' to get the car, cos he wanted to wait until the car arrived in the flesh before deciding he wanted one. Poor bloke, he doesn't get it. He thinks he can get a discount. Ha Ha!
