Temporary insurance for your car or van

If being safely covered on the road is important to you, you’ll want to make sure you’re fully protected when driving someone else’s vehicle or lending your own. Temporary car insurance guarantees that you’ll be comprehensively covered in the car you are borrowing, and that your no-claims discount is protected when lending your vehicle.

You might need temporary insurance to add a family member or friend as a driver, to get covered on someone else’s car or van, to be covered for a test drive or vehicle demonstration, or to drive away in your new car or van and give yourself some time to shop around for the perfect annual policy. Either way, it takes minutes to get a quote and you could be covered in no time.
