Buying car insurance for a short period only

Ever wondered whether you could get a temporary car insurance cover for that estate car you need to borrow from your friend to help you move houses? Well you will be glad to know that such a short term car insurance policy exists! So instead of driving without car insurance hoping nothing bad will happen, put your mind at peace and get protected against all the odds.

Examples of occasions when you may need short term car insurance

• Driving your friend’s car for the weekend
• Borrowing your friend’s van when moving houses
• Buying a house’s door which doesn’t fit in your small car
• You are not insured to drive somebody else’s car
• You want insurance cover when you are driving abroad for your holidays
• You are renting a car/van

• Driving a courtesy car in emergency situations where you are not covered
