Types of Short-Term Car Insurance

There are many reasons you might need short-term car insurance and in the same way there are a number of different types of short-term insurance for different needs. Whether you're a learner, a van driver, have an impounded vehicle or have a foreign licence, we have the temporary car insurance coverage that you need.

So let's go through these alternative types of temporary car insurance and examine their differences and their uses.

1. Temporary Van Insurance

Okay, so, not quite a type of temporary car insurance. But Temporary VAN insurance. Similar to temporary car insurance, temporary van insurance is there for when you need cover to drive a van for anywhere between 1 hour and 3 months. 

Maybe you're moving house, and need to borrow a van to carry some furtniture. Or maybe you're a tradesman and need some temporary cover to drive your own van or a borrowed van. Whatever the reason, temporary van insurance is there to give you the flexibility you need to drive a van. Covered.

2. Learner Driver Insurance

Learner Driver Insurance is there to give you the insurance you need to get that practice in while learning to drive. There are 2 main different types of learner insurance:

1. Annual Learner Driver Insurance: If you are a learner driver and you are likely to be a learner for a while, or you want to convert an annual policy to be a full UK licence policy upon passing, you might choose to purchase an annual learner driver policy. You can learn more about this here.
2. Short-Term Learner Driver Insurance: Got your driving test in a week and need to squeeze in some extra practice on your dad's car? Short-Term Learner Insurance is the perfect solution to give you that cover without worrying your dad's no claims bonus. Good news all round!

Learning to drive can be expensive. especially if you are only getting driving lessons. So take out some learner insurance instead and convince your parents to be a supervisor for an hour or two to get that extra practice in when you need, and save you the money on driving lessons.

3. Temporary Impound Insurance

Has your car been impounded? You might need insurance to get your car released from the police compound. Remember every day your car is in the police compound costs you more money, so get it sorted today. Get the temporary impound cover for the cheapest solution to get your car back with 30 day impound insurance. The legal minimum that you will need to retrieve your car from the pound.
