Temporary car insurance from 1 hour to 14 days
Temporary car insurance (also called short term or temp car insurance) lets you drive legally without an annual policy. Cover a borrowed car, a collection, a weekend away, or an emergency — from 1 hour to 14 days.
Hourly, 1 day and weekly options
Choose 1 hour car insurance for a short trip, 1 day or daily cover for a single outing, or weekly car insurance for seven days. One quote flow covers all durations.
No Claims Discount protection
A claim on this standalone policy is handled here, so it typically does not touch the No Claims Discount on your annual car insurance.
SDP and business use
Social driving is included, and business use is available for work journeys. Hire and reward is excluded.
