Do any insurance companies allow you to drive other non-specified cars 3rd party when aged under 25?
The few i've tried are all no.

I used to get it with the AA on my TPFT. I don't get it anymore with my fully comp I was about 19 when that happened. Kinda annoying because it's usefull.

I've not had it so far, but would be handy with the misses now having a car.

I think it was a mistake though personally because you shouldn't get it on TPFT, especially when you are 19. Though it let medrive around in a 300bhp A8 now and again

When I had my silver Corsa SXi with the free insurance from Vauxhall it covered me (a 17 year old ) to drive any car with TPF&T cover.
My dads ST24 for instance

Most places have stopped it now anyway, because too many people were abusing it. People were insuring shitters with it on thier policy, getting their grandad to insure a better car TPF&T, then driving the other car on a daily basis!

Some insurers still do it, but only for over 25s.

Its the insurers choice if they do or don't, FC or TP, you have to ask them.

Very few companies do it under 25 as of the end of last year.

what are you doing now then, when your corsa is off road?
its even more difficult because only selected companies will let you have modifications at a reasonable price
