Problem isn't just with the companies, they're just there to milk what they can, Problem is with the insurance companies and the law
I bought a car, Transferred my old insurance over to the new vehicle, Asked them how much to insure the old vehicle for a week, - £220
Asked them why and they told me there's only a couple of companies that do short term insurance now and they all charge the same, a years cost for a short period, couldn't insure a car for even a week then, so it couldn't even be towed unless on a transporter
So as people tend to want to test drive a car before they pay for it you're buggered if you don't know where to find short term insurance,and then effectively at 150 quid for 28 days you can stay buggered , thats me, 52 yrs , maximums no claims, clean licence, the cost of my insurance on that vehicle for the year was 160 quid in October , insurance value 1200 quid 53 plate Honda jazz 48k from new . So if you can't insure your old car unless it's worth a bit, you can't have people test drive it, so you have problems selling it. Hence the WBAC huge profit margin, so the trick is, keep the old car on your drive and if someone is seriously interested, you can buy one days insurance for around £20 these days so get the people who want test drives to come on the same day

Don't be silly you'd never get one to light, the seats will be damp from where the door seals leak and there's nowt else in one
Sorry, but you're wrong - that is NOT what it's worth, not in any way, shape or form. It is simply what those to$$ers would pay you for it.
NEXT! - nothing to see here, move along .......

I have to say, short term insurance is a piece of p1ss to find. I've done it a few times. Go to look at car, all good, buy it, insure it in 5/6 minutes using smart phone and drive home.
Disco 300tdi cost me £27 or thereabouts. Lasts for 24 hours. 7 days was about £70.
Plus if you're with a decent insurer like direct line as we are, they never have an issue with keeping your old car on policy for a week after you add your new one, to enable you to move it around / still park on street / keep it taxed etc. Even if you insure the car short term for other peoples test driving benefit, many many policies these days don't cover driving of other vehicles like they used to, so that person has still got to have the relevant insurance and the car needs to remain taxed.
One of the biggest (no pun intended, but he's a big lad) problems is that James Corden plank making people think that selling a car off your driveway is as dangerous as a holiday in Chernobyl.

Yeah, the only problem is, that IF there is no insurance on the vehicle, NOBODY can drive it without putting it on insurance, even if you have 'drive other vehicles' you can't if it's not got it's own insurance, so either pay out to keep it on , pay out to insure for one day, or pay out to test drive it, unless you have trade insurance ofc,
