Who can use short term vehicle cover?

Temporary insurance is the ideal insurance solution for a wide range of drivers looking for short term insurance that’s quick and easy to purchase and flexible enough to suit a number of everyday situations.

From simply borrowing a car to learning to drive to insuring new employees in a small business, short term insurance can help you get the cover you need to get on the road in minutes.

While insurance is a legal requirement for all drivers, thankfully there are different insurance options depending on your needs. If you’re looking to use a car you’re not already insured to drive, temporary cover can give you the insurance you need for the duration you want.

If you’re looking to borrow a car and the owner’s worried about the impact on their existing insurance, you can both relax. Short term insurance from Tempcover is a separate, standalone policy that won’t impact their existing policy – plus, their No Claims Discount won’t be affected should you need to make a claim.

Whether you need an hourly policy in an emergency, one day car insurance or a longer, one month policy, you get fully comprehensive cover as standard for complete peace of mind.

We can offer cover to drivers from 17-78 across our variety of short term insurance policies, so, we’re confident we can find the level and length of cover that’s best suited for your needs.
