Unable to cancel policy today, can I take out a new one with another company?

Basically passed my test this morning, phoned Endsleigh to cancel learner insurance and they say they’re closed (supposed to be open 9-5 on a Saturday according to website). Am I able to go to the likes of AXA and start a new policy and cancel with endsleigh on monday? Cheers for any quick answers

Well done on passing your test. My understanding is you cant have two insurance policies running on the one vehicle at the same time.

Surely you are covered to drive the car now that you’ve passed? Learner insurance is insurance and don’t think there is a difference?

Cheers. I’d have guessed that too, may be safer to leave it until Monday. Shame

My understanding is that I was initially insured on the provisional license as a learner. Now I’m on a Full license so presuming the insurance doesn’t apply anymore because I’ve passed

You would think that but I'd always be wary of issues like that with insurance companies. Youd probably be grand but is it worth the risk?

Some insurance companies let you make amendments to your policy online, I take it yours doesn't?

No need to risk it now, they finally answered. Cancelled policy, all sorted. Cheers, may be a useful thread for others
