Insurance and road tax: what you need before you drive away

What is drive away insurance?

Drive away insurance is short-term car insurance that covers you to drive a car home from the dealership straight after you've bought it. It bridges the gap until your annual policy starts, or until you've moved your existing policy onto the new car.

You can arrange it through our partner, Cuvva. Cuvva's drive away cover runs from one hour to 28 days, starts straight away and is fully comprehensive. You'll usually need to be between 19 and 79, and the car needs to be worth up to £100,000. Prices depend on you and the car, and start from around £12.55 for an hour. (Cuvva, October 2026)

If you'd rather use your own insurer, call them before you arrive. Many will move your existing cover onto the new car, or add it, over the phone.

Why it matters: driving without insurance can lead to a £300 fixed penalty and six points on your licence, and police can seize the car.

How long does it take?

Most clients drive away within a few hours. How long it takes on the day depends on four things:

What affects the timeQuicker if you...
A test driveBook it when you call ahead, so the car's ready when you arrive
A part exchangeValue it online first and bring the logbook, service history and spare key
FinanceCheck your eligibility online before you come in, and bring proof of ID and address
Insurance and taxGet an insurance quote using the registration before you arrive, and have your licence details to hand

The quickest route: reserve the car online, value your part exchange, check your finance eligibility and call us to agree a time. Then the visit is mostly the test drive and the signatures.

Ready to drive away doesn't mean rushed

Same Day Drive Away cars aren't prepared differently from the rest of our stock. Every used car is checked by trained technicians before it goes on sale, and we're upfront about its MOT and service history.

Every Chorley Care car has a multi-point inspection, history and mileage checks, at least nine months' MOT, a full valet and at least a three-month warranty, or the remaining manufacturer warranty where that's longer.

If you'd rather take your time, that's fine too. Reserve the car for £99 and collect it on another day, or ask about delivery.
