How do I insure a car from the North to sell?
Hi,
I want to bring a second car from NI and sell it, but how should I do it with insurance?

Hi Carl,
Either set up a temporary insurance policy with a Northern Irish insurer that will cover the car to be driven south of the border or temporarily add the car to your own insurance policy until it is re-registered. Best thing to do is call your existing insurer and ask about that.
I'm sure you realise that you will have to re-register the car in the south before selling it on.
