Dayinsure is a great option when annual insurance doesn’t give you the flexibility you need, whether you want great value hourly insurance or something slightly longer.
Did you know? It is a common belief that all annual insurance policies cover you to drive other cars. This is not always true and if you do have cover it will almost certainly be on a third-party-only basis. Take out a Dayinsure policy and you will be covered comprehensively. Any claims will not affect the car owner’s No Claims Bonus.
Did you know? A common misunderstanding is that annual insurance policies that cover commuting allow business trips to any location – they don’t! Commuting use only covers journeys to or from your regular place of work – so this could exclude cover if you visit a client, attend a training course or help out at a local branch. Our temp car cover provides full business use (but not the carrying of goods or passengers for hire or reward).
Temporary car insurance is fast, convenient and simple to buy
All our temp cover policies are underwritten by Aviva on a comprehensive basis. They include business-use cover and can start within 15 minutes of making a booking whether you want cover for an hour, a day, a week or a month.
On all our temp car insurance policies, we offer a range of optional extras such as comprehensive European cover and daily breakdown cover. Please be aware that from 1 January 2021 you’ll need a Green Card to travel abroad. Check out our FAQ’s for more information about what a Green Card is and how you can get one.
Our policies are standalone, so making a claim doesn’t affect your No Claims Discount (NCD) on any annual policy.
Furthermore, we guarantee to update the Motor Insurance Database (MID) every 7 days and in some cases more often. We always recommend having your certificate of insurance on you during your period of cover.
Our temp car insurance can cover most drivers aged 18–75 (subject to vehicle and underwriting criteria). We can also able to cover learner drivers, with our temporary learner driver insurance. From 24 hour insurance to one-day car insurance to weekly insurance, we can insure most UK-registered vehicles.
Please note: Our temp car insurance is not available for impounded vehicles.
We also offer temporary van insurance for those who need it.
