Temporary car insurance is usually defined as cover for one month or less. However, there are now a number of specialist insurance companies who now offer flexible cover for between one to six months.
There are numerous scenarios where 1 day temporary cover may be required. One of the most popular is making sure you are insured when using a friends auto. Although you may be able to drive another vehicle on your annual policy, taking out an additional policy for this could protect any no claims bonus built up. This could therefore be an attractive option for more experienced drivers and possibly provide a more cost effective solution.
