Never had to do so myself, but worth a look IMHO

Annual policy and cancel it in a week's time?

You'll get a pro-rata refund, but watch out for cancellation fees which
could dwarf your cost for that week.

Quite likely to change about 1 months premium as cancellation fee and
maybe a minimum cover duration of 1 month.

However, there is normally a cooling off period when you take out
insurance of a few days and provided there is no claim - you might get
all your money back? - worth a look at the small print and you might
have to take out the insurance immediately when you need it as the
cooling off period will start as soon as you make the arrangements

Is this an insured or an uninsured vehicle? Probably the latter, but in
case not I thought I would mention my recent experience.

We wanted a friend to have occasional use of one of our vehicles so
asked about temporary cover for them. IIRC the charge was £15 for a
weekend, with no more than four weekends per year. Or £10 to go on as a
named driver for the remaining 11 months.

It was ok for a day when there was some insurance, but now its uninsured and we can't find a sensible price. Looks like the sensible option is leave it off road for a week.

Thanks everyone

Probably cheaper to hire a car.

Yup, cheaper to hire the car, insure it and pay for a valet job afterwards. Crazy.

you MUST SORN it.

Or you'll get fined even if it's off the road and never used on it.

I should have said that my good experience was with NFU. Will be getting
them to quote for my other vehicles when the time is due.
