Whatever the situation, if you need to arrange temporary cover, InsureDaily can get you on the road in minutes. Confident in the knowledge that you have the level of cover you need, exactly when you need it.
We have included insurers on our panel that offer cover to learner drivers, both for those wanting to practise in a borrowed car, or in their own vehicle
Our insurers can offer cover to learners aged 17 to 25 if they are looking to learn in their own vehicle. This cover is available from 1 to 5 months, or, as an annual policy.
For those learners that don't yet own their own vehicle our insurers can offer cover for 1 to 140 days, this cover is available to learners aged 17 to 30.
Impounded car insurance can assist you in the release of an impounded car. When you produce your car documentation at the impound, you will be required to produce insurance documentation valid for a minimum of 30 days. Not all policies are acceptable, as some standard insurance policies specifically exclude use for releasing cars from impounds.
Our impound policy meets the minimum legal requirement to release your vehicle from an impound.
All our temporary car insurance and short term van policies offer Comprehensive cover only - except for Impound Insurance cover (which is Third Party Only). Comprehensive cover insures you for accidental damage for the vehicle you are insuring, in addition to covering claims for Third Party damage and Fire & Theft. So, with all our policies, you can relax in the knowledge that you are in a vehicle that is genuinely Safely Insured.
Comprehensive means the following are covered:
Long gone are the days of waiting a few weeks for your certificate of insurance to arrive. Instead, we will email your documentation to you immediately. You can print, save or store them as you wish for your records.

The selection of policies available in our comparison site will give you an excellent overview – you can then select your choice and proceed from there.
There are a number of reasons why you might need to insure a van for a single day or a week. Our comparison site has a selection of insurers offering temporary van insurance cover from 1-28 days.

Sometimes, you may need to insure more than one temporary additional driver for the period of cover. Our comparison site has options available for this situation.
Learner Drivers often like to gain some extra practice in a parent’s or friend’s car in addition to taking driving lessons with an DVSA approved instructor – or sometimes have all their lessons with a parent.
With the average learning period of several months, it works out more efficient to purchase short term learner drivers insurance as a separate policy.
Not only is it cost efficient – it also prevents any accidents affecting the bonus of the main policy held by the car owner. With this type of cover, it is imperative that the car is already insured by the owner and that policy is running for the full period of the temporary learner cover; as this is purely ‘top-up’ cover.
We are now able to offer you a solution in retrieving a seized car or van under S165A of the Road Traffic Act from a police pound providing immediate 30 day third party insurance. Instant cover is available for the legal owner of the vehicle ONLY holding a full UK, EU, EEA or Swiss driving licence for 12 months or more.
If you are buying a car, you may wish to Test Drive this first. We realise that most people would like test drive insurance at short notice that can be arranged quickly – without the need for complicated forms – but still providing Comprehensive cover.
Short Term Car insurance is the answer and can be purchased in minutes.
Sometimes, when purchasing a new vehicle, you may need to arrange instant temporary insurance in order to drive home – this Drive Away cover can be purchased online using a PC, Tablet or Smartphone.
This short term cover can be helpful to cover the gap between buying the vehicle and getting insurance arranged on a more permanent basis.
If a garage supplies you with a courtesy vehicle, but without providing the insurance cover, some of our products will be able to cover this for you. See individual product websites for confirmation.
