We have included insurers on our panel that offer temp 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 insurance 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 comprehensively covered.
Comprehensive means the following are covered:

Temporary Car insurance is available for lots of people, but there are a few limitations. The easiest way to find out is to run through a quote online, but you can also check the acceptance criteria instead.
The restrictions mostly include minimum periods for licence held, minimum age, vehicle types and ages, areas, licence points and restrictions, vehicle values and modifications, the purpose of driving the vehicle, and where the vehicle is being driven. There are more limitations depending on what insurer and product you go with, so make sure to check out the full acceptance criteria before taking out any temporary car insurance policy.
Often annual insurance policies allow you to drive other cars, but there are a lot of limitations and risks involved with this. They only cover you on a third party basis, and this means that the car you’re borrowing won’t actually be covered in the event that you do have a claim.
If you’re borrowing someone else’s car, the last thing you want is to not be fully covered on a comprehensive basis, and for that reason temporary car insurance that includes comprehensive cover can provide far more peace of mind for both the driver and the car owner!

As more and more people become aware that the option of a temporary policy is available, you can start to see the main reasons people chose this option and the advantages it offers.
Many annual policy have cover for the ‘Insured Only’, so that person ends up doing all the driving all year round. If you have a long journey or a driving holiday, you may want a break from being the only driver. Simply cover an extra driver for a week.
Advantage: it is safer to share the driving, to avoid the main driver becoming tired – and after all, they need a holiday too.
When driving someone else’s car, some people really on the 'Driving Other Cars' extension from their own insurance policy as a form of cover. Not everyone is fully aware of the limits to the ‘Driving Other Cars’ extension. It purely covers the ‘Third Party Only’ – so, there is no cover for the vehicle being driven, just cover for the damage done to any that party that the driver has an accident with. Also, to clarify, the ‘Driving Other Cars’ extension only offers cover to the policyholder of the annual policy, not any named drivers covered under that policy.
Advantage: When you consider the limitations of that cover, you can see why taking out flexible short-term cover that offers fully Comprehensive cover on the vehicle being driven is well worthwhile. You potentially could end up with a large expense for the damage done to the borrowed vehicle.
A: Temporary Car Insurance is there for when you only need car insurance for a short-term period and allows you to pay for how long you need that cover for. So, if you need to drive a different vehicle for a day, a week, or a month this could be a cheaper and easier alternative to annual insurance for you.
A: If you need to drive a car for a short period of time, on a vehicle that you are not insured to drive, for any number of reasons, then temporary car insurance may well be the best solution for you, rather than taking out an annual policy that you don't need.

A: It can take up to 7 working days for temporary insurance to show on MID which with short-term policies can mean the policy will have expired before it shows on MID. However, just because your cover does not show on MID yet does not mean you are not insured. The best way to know if and when your car is insured is to check your documents after you have purchased insurance and to keep a copy of these on you or make sure you have access to them on your email.
A: Temporary car insurance can be expensive depending on your circumstances. For insurers, the risk for insuring for 1 day and 1 year can be the same, so sometimes it can be more expensive than you might expect for short term policies. However, at InsureDaily we strive to offer the best, cheapest temporary car insurance on the market.
A: You could add someone to your annual policy on a short term basis with most insurance policies, however doing so can affect the price of your annual cover and would affect your NCB on that policy, so the better option and usually cheaper option is often to take out a separate temporary insurance policy.
