Temporary car insurance durations

Temporary insurance allows you to select the exact amount of time you need on cover, so you only ever pay for the time you need to use the vehicle. Choose the time that suits you from one hour all the way up to 28 days…

Need cover for just a few hours? Perfect for quick errands, test drives, or borrowing a car for the afternoon.

Hourly car insurance

Insure a car for one day or more. Ideal for day trips, sharing the drive, or bridging a gap in your annual policy.

Daily car insurance

A full week of comprehensive cover. Great for holidays, house moves, or when you need a car while yours is in the garage.

Weekly car insurance

Up to 28 days of flexible cover. The smart choice when you only need a car for a short period instead of a full annual policy.

Monthly car insurance

Insurance doesn't need to be confusing.

We're here to help you understand your cover.

Driving other cars cover on an annual policy only insures as third party only. Meaning the car and the driver are not covered, only other people and cars.
