How soon after you call up and insure a car can you purchase tax online? Going to look at an untaxed and uninsured car tomorrow.

It takes 24 hours for it too register on the MiD.
If you get a printed version of the insurance certificate you can tax it immediately in a post office.

Think I'd go to the post office,because surely if you tax it online straight away, the new tax disc will go to the person you bought it off of, as the car will still be in their name?What is it, out of interest?  |

It's another Eunos... Hmm I hadn't thought about the disc being sent elsewhere. So I may have to insure it tomorrow morning and then print off the certificate before heading up there.. Haven't even seen it yet! :/

Post office only I am afraid for the reason stated above (involving the Previous owner getting the tax disc instead).

Tricky.. So if I insure it in the morning, is printing off a certificate likely to be an option? And then use the v5c and hit the post office. Anyone know what the PO hours are on Christmas Eve? Thanks for your help guys

Sorry bit late to the party here.
If you call up your insurance company and get them to quote for the vehicle don't accept the quote until you have seen the car. Then if your happy with it a quick phonecall to the insurance company to accept the quote and activate the policy. With the car before last that I bought this is what I did having first arranged with the previous owner to use his PC to print off the insurance cert once activated in order to tax it.
