Adrian Flux Insurance Services has launched a new scheme which lets drivers log on to its website (www.7dayinsurance.co.uk) to arrange instant seven days free insurance.

‘Drive-Away’ can be activated within the car dealership, giving the customer free fully comprehensive cover for seven days. Dealers must be registered for the scheme.

Dealers and their customers do not have to pay for anything, the service is completely free. Adrian Flux believes enough drivers will stick with it’s services to make the scheme worth while.

"Getting insurance sorted when you’re buying a car can be an incredibly frustrating business," says Craig Darwin of Flux, who is overseeing the scheme.

"Especially if you make the deal, then have to wait days for your cover to come through.

"By making things run smoothly our Drive-Away policy is going to help both the car buyer and the car dealer.”
