How does temporary car insurance work?
Temporary car insurance is a flexible type of short-term insurance. It allows you to drive a car for a short period of time, without needing to take out an annual insurance policy. Our temporary car insurance policies offer comprehensive cover from as little as 1 hour, up to a maximum of 30 days. So, whether it is hourly, daily or monthly car insurance that you require, we’ve got you covered.
So, you can borrow a car, or share the driving on a long trip. It only takes a few minutes to apply and you can manage your policy online 24/7. Add more hours or days as you need them. There’s no annual contract, so when the policy expires that’s it.

Can I get temporary car insurance on a friend’s car?
You can use temporary car insurance to borrow a friend’s car. It means they don’t have to pay more to add you to their policy. If you need to make a claim on your short term car insurance policy, their no claims discount won’t be affected either.
How much is temporary car insurance?
The cost of short-term car insurance will vary depending on your situation and vehicle.
Location: your postcode and where the car is kept overnight will be considered. If it’s parked in a safer location, like a locked garage or driveway, the impact on your premium is likely to be less. The risk of theft or vandalism may be higher in certain postcodes.
Mileage: the fewer miles you drive, the less likely you’ll be in an accident and need to make a claim on your temporary car insurance.
Type of car: cars are grouped by make and model. Usually the higher the group the more expensive and powerful the car. They’re seen by insurers as a greater risk of being stolen or being involved in an accident.
Driving history: if you’ve had any previous convictions or claims, it’ll impact your temporary car insurance premium.
