Temporary insurance resources

Guides for the times you need cover on a car that is not usually yours.

About this section

Here you will find resources on short-term and temporary insurance: borrowing a friend or family member's car, sharing the driving on a road trip, being added to a parent's car for a weekend, driving a car home after buying it, taking a test drive, or hiring a van for a house move. Cover can run from an hour to a few months, so most of this is about working out which length you actually need.

Useful whether you drive every day or twice a year.
