Thanks for everybody’s input much appreciated. As quotes last for 30 days, my car won’t be registered till the day I pick it up. Am I able to buy a quote without the reg number or give them the reg number, but assume it wont be on the database till day of pick up? I assume a car registration plate is only on the database on the day the car is registered?
Having bought a new car for one of my daughters recently, the insurer allowed us to input the make and model without a recognised reg number. As Wigwam says, you can choose your reg number a few weeks in advance and when we had that we inputted it, even though their database didn’t recognise the number. I have to say it was all dead easy.
