You might be more used to saving money on eBay by buying cheap CDs, second-hand watches or old handbags, but now you can save a few quid on your motor insurance too.
eBay Motors have teamed up with Norwich Union to offer free car insurance to anybody putting in a successful bid and buying a car on the site. The cover lasts for a whole week and is fully comprehensive you so don't have to worry if your new purchase is damaged in a smash.
eBay Motors' spokeswoman, Clare Gilmartin, said, "A car is sold every two minutes on eBay Motors and we're constantly looking for ways to improve the buying and selling process and provide added piece of mind for the millions of people who head to the site in search of a new car.
"We know people are willing to travel up and down the country for the right vehicle at the right price. Teaming up with Norwich Union Direct to offer free car insurance for seven days means people can drive away in their new vehicle, knowing they're covered for most eventualities should anything happen to them on the journey home."
Seven days is just enough time to get your new car home, give it a polish and log on to the internet in search of a great deal on cheap car insurance. There are loads to be found and you can save even more by finding a firm that deals only with young driver car insurance.
