Answer: Potentially. A one-off move can suit short-term insurance if annual cover has already ended.
Allow enough time for traffic and access delays at the storage site.
If the car will then remain uninsured, keep it off the public road and consider whether SORN is required.

Do not let the temporary policy expire while the car is still on a public road.
