Short-Term Car Insurance

There are plenty of reasons that drivers just like you need only short-term car insurance rather than a full annual policy. Our temporary car insurance will cover you to drive almost any vehicle, from a standard vehicle through to a classic or modified car or even a motorhome, for between one day and three months at a time.

What is short-term car insurance?

Short-term car insurance offers you temporary cover to drive a car. This gives you the freedom to go on a planned road-trip, attend events across the UK, and even borrow your friend’s car at the last moment.

Even if the vehicle is insured in someone else’s name or you don’t actually own the vehicle, we can still provide comprehensive insurance over short periods.
