What cover do I get from my Temporary cover?
Customers aged 23 and over can purchase short term, comprehensive car insurance for periods of between 1 and 28 days, subject to a maximum of 112 days in any rolling 12 month period. The cover can be booked up to 28 days in advance of usage. An added benefit is that short term cover does not affect any annual no claims bonus levels. European cover is also available for an additional cost.

When would I need this Temporary Car Insurance?
The concept is very simple. Many customers will need additional, temporary insurance at some stage, either to use a vehicle that does not belong to them, to drive home a new purchase or to insure another person to drive their own vehicle. Here are a few examples:
- Emergency cover for a temporary driver, or additional vehicle
- Temporary cover for planned uses such as driving another car/van, borrowing a friend’s vehicle or travelling on a driving holiday
- Temporary cover to facilitate the delivery of your new purchase
- Cover for test-driving a private car or a Dealer’s demonstrator
- Driving a Dealer’s courtesy car while yours is being serviced/repaired
- Visiting from Australia or New Zealand
- Expats borrowing family/friends cars in the UK

Is it easy to apply and pay for Day Insurance?
Yes. We provide a simple, easy to use internet booking website that requires minimal information about both the driver and the vehicle. The site clearly directs the user through the application process, payment is made via secure debit/credit card transaction, and the certificate and schedule can be printed out immediately at the end of the application process. We also send a copy of the certificate and schedule attached to a confirmatory email.
