When else could you use temporary car insurance?
Driving in an emergency: We all have those moments when we need to get somewhere quickly. You don’t want to get caught driving without insurance. This could result in a penalty of at least £300 and 6 penalty points. Don’t take the risk and get cover immediately before setting off.
Driving another car: No amount of persuasion will stop a police officer issuing a penalty if caught driving without valid insurance. Check the details of your annual policy. If you’re not covered to drive another vehicle, temporary insurance is oh-so-easy to arrange.
Taking a test drive: Buying or selling your car? Short-term insurance can put everyone’s minds at ease when it’s time for a test drive.
Sharing the wheel: From long journeys so everyone gets some rest to letting a student drive the family car over the summer.
Whether sharing a long drive, enjoying a staycation or dealing with the unexpected, temporary insurance gets you where you need to go.
