A little motoring advice needed.

[#1]

I'm looking to replace my old Megané and the car I'm interested in is 12 miles away.
I can drive to the location but I'm retaining my old car so need someone to drive it back home while I drive my new one.
I have a driver available who currently has no car and therefore no insurance.
What are my options?

Add them to your insurance for a day - it should be relatively cheap

You can buy insurance for 12 hours from a broker online, just google them.
You can also find another person who holds fully comp insurance, they would then have automatic third party cover.
Or as said above, add the person as a named driver for the day.
Or, can you tow? Buy a tow bar...

Three things cone to mind.
If it's a dealer
1) will the dealer deliver the new car to you?
2) does the dealer offer free temporary cover for a few days which could be in the other person's name?
Or
3) contact a few insurers to see if any offer a day's cover for the other person

Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone

You drive to where the new car is.
If you don't buy the car, then drive home.
If you do buy the car, then get the previous owner to drive it to your place, then exchange paperwork, and give them a lift home.
Otherwise, you can't drive the new car until you get it insured, as the moment the current owner sells it to you then their insurance becomes invalid, and by implication the new car for your journey home will be uninsured.

Not necessarily, a lot of insurers are dropping this so watch out for it. Always check your new policy docs for any changes. They will not tell you just let it slip by.

Taxi? Probably cheaper and easier.
Purleigh's suggestion is also excellent.

Speak to your own insurer.  They will cover the driver for a short time and they may not even charge you.

Plenty of options to chose from...thanks.

This only applies if the vehicle being driven is also insured!
If the OP drives the new vehicle then either he has to have insurance on it, or the seller must have. But if he has bought it then he should insure it himself, but he must still insure the old vehicle if it is to driven home.
Best option is to get temp cover!

No it doesn't.  
SOME policies are indeed worded that way, but definitely NOT all. Mine has no such restriction and it's a very common "big-name" insurer.
The lesson is: Read your policy documents carefully, if in doubt phone to check.

I was in a similar positon, only did not have a "second driver"... so I asked the dealer to arrange 7 days cover in the sale, got him to drive the new car to home, I drove my old car, then got in the new car and took him back to the garage...  the 7 days cover did not cost me anything, and it gave me time to look around for the best deal on the new car, and then cancel the old car... which went of to a scrapyard on the back of a lorry !.

You ask the cops then!

When I bought my present car the dealer gave me 7 days free insurance from Aviva.  it's a good move on the part of Aviva as it could lead to extra business.
We don't know if Strat is buying fro a dealer or doing a private sale so the above info may not be of interest.
