Ian Phillips and a prosperous butchers shop in Cheshire, and
since he had some very good relationships with the local farmers he was able
to offer the highest quality produce for sale and he soon developed a
clientele right the way across the county, and he regularly delivered meat
products to them in his trusty old Volvo estate car. Ian had invested a
great deal of money in his shop which left very little over for luxuries,
and although his Volvo was more than 12 years old and have covered nearly
140,000 miles he really couldn't justify replacing it; until the fateful day
of the big wedding!Buy temporary

One of his clients was David Thornton, the owner of a large hotel just
over the border in Shropshire, and a major part of his business was
arranging wedding receptions. He got a booking one day from a charming young
couple who needed catering for nearly 150 guests; David explained to them
that if he was feeding that many people it would be best if they had a
single choice of meal, rather than the two or three choices they normally
offered, in order to avoid potential chaos in the kitchen. The young couple
readily agreed to fillet steak for the main course, and David duly
telephoned Ian to place the order. The quantity was no great problem for
Ian, and on the morning of the wedding he loaded up his trusty Volvo with
150 fillets, backed off the drive and managed to drive 100 yards before
there was a loud crash in the front of the car, and it juddered to a halt!
There was no way that Ian could have known the cause of it; the timing belt
had in fact snapped, and the pistons had collided with the valves; but it
was obvious to him that his car was going no further. With the couple's big
day at stake, how on earth was he going to deliver the meat!
Barry Morris owned a tailoring shop two doors down from Ian's shop and he
had seen what had happened. He hurried over, realised that Ian needed
transport quickly and very generously offered to lend him his own light van!
Ian was absolutely delighted, but he also realised that his own insurance
would not cover him for driving this van, so being a sensible chap he
decided to arrange some right away on the Internet.
Fortunately, a few weeks beforehand he had inadvertently wandered over to
a website advertising temporary car insurance. He typed the search term
'temporary car insurance' into Google, found this site and realised that he
would be able to ensure the vehicle for just a single day for which he would
need it. He filled in the application form, paid the very reasonable fee by
credit card, and instantly received an e-mail which confirmed that he was
covered immediately, and for the next 24 hours! He was able to drive all the
to deliver the goods, which were cooped superbly by David's chef and the big
day was saved.
The website that Ian visited was able to provide temporary car insurance
for any period at all between one single day and 28 days, and both fully
comprehensive and third party only cover was available. Ian made sure that
he bookmarked the site in case of future need; and then ordered himself a
new Volvo estate car!
