What’s short-term car insurance?
Short-term car insurance will cover you for a limited time – just days or weeks – and some policies will give you instant cover.
It can be cheaper to take out temporary car insurance than to make changes to your existing policy, for example, to add a car you only need to drive for a day or two.
If you need to make a claim on short-term car insurance, it won’t affect your no-claims bonus.
You can also add extra cover, like driving in Europe, for an extra charge. Just make sure you check what cover you’ll have, as it might only be the minimum level – third-party only.
Short-term car insurance is a flexible way of insuring a car for a short amount of time, whether that’s hours, days or weeks. To apply takes only minutes and gives you cheap and reliable temporary insurance.
There are lots of reasons you might need short term car insurance such as:
– test-driving a car
– driving a car to go on holiday
– in an emergency when you have to take over the driving
– moving house and borrowing cars
