Does anyone know a cheap place to get cheap short term car cover? I've been getting quotes of around 100 for 7 days on a 1.2 bloody Clio but paid 83 for 2 weeks on a HDI.
But it's too late to call up my insurance tonight as I need the cover tomorrow so I'm just curious to see where's cheap.

I presume you've already done some online quotes?

My own insurance company tend to be the cheapest, a week is the same price as a day and its usually about £40-£50

That's expensive! Confused

Through Admiral its about £18 for a week (or just for a day) for me.

As Tom says, £18 for a week. Tbh if you're not running a modified car and know how to play the discounts, you really can't better admiral imo.
