Temporary car insurance provides short-term motor cover for a defined period such as hours or days, subject to driver, vehicle, use and provider eligibility.
It can be useful when borrowing a family member's or friend's car, driving a newly purchased vehicle home, sharing driving for a trip or needing cover for a short period. A live quotation is required to confirm whether cover is available.
What a live quote checks
- the driver and driving-licence details;
- the vehicle and ownership relationship;
- the exact start and end time;
- the intended use and eligibility declarations;
- the premium, cover, limits, excesses, documents and exclusions actually offered.
