Can I get a car insurance for just a week?

[t2siam]

Hello Forum,

I am not sure if this is the right forum, but I couldn't find any about car insurances..

I was wondering if somebody can tell me if I can get an insurance just for a week?

I have a Thai car available for usage, but has no insurance.

I was hoping to insure the car for a week if I need it, or a day-insurance even better:)

All the info is much appreciated. 

Cheers, Tom

Does the vehicle have the compulsory insurance?

 

If it does then you can drive it, just don't hit anything. Compulsory is on the same level as 3rd-part only in the West.

 

If no compulsory, it's really cheap, but you'll have to pay any back insurance and road tax before it's issued.

 

EDIT. You may only have to pay back tax.

Hello Crossy,

The car has no insurance at all.

It's not the cheapest car, its from a lady who works abroad and never uses it.

Its just standing at her house.

So I can use it, but I want 1e class insurance on it for a week or better day rate.

Please let me know if you know a company who provides this kind of service.

Cheers, Tom

Thai compulsory insurance is much more limited than 3rd party insurance in the West.

At the op, check with a broker.

if it has no insurance then it has no road tax, that would need to be paid and as crossy posted any back tax as well, then you would have to sort out class 1 insurance on top, maybe cheaper to hire a car or taxi it.

Yeah, I agree, my reasoning was simply that it's unlikely anyone would remember the now defunct "road traffic act" insurance level (UK).

 

I suspect it will end up cheaper for our OP to hire a vehicle as Steve187 notes.

IMO you could insure 2nd class for a year not expensive about 7000 bht and you could use the car more often that's if you can get the car started and you need the car book or a copy of to update road funds & gov compulsory insurance.
