You can take out car insurance for the weekend to suit you. So, if you’re going on a trip and need cover for a long weekend, Friday to Monday, then we can help. We can also provide cover for just one or two days over the weekend, which might be handy if you’re borrowing a car while yours is in the garage, or to make use of another vehicle to transport items. Don’t forget, we also provide temporary van insurance if you need to borrow a larger vehicle to move furniture or to help someone relocate.

Our weekend car insurance is very flexible so, whatever your individual needs, we can get you covered. Simply get a quote online and you could be on the road in under an hour.

It might be possible to extend your policy through your account either on our website, via the app or by clicking manage policy and view documents in your email notification. You can extend your policy a maximum of three times or up to 30 days from the original policy date. If you need to amend your policy or include any extras, you’ll need to get a new quote.

If you’re a learner driver wanting to get some extra practice with a friend or family member, our temporary learner driver insurance could be just what you’re looking for. This cover is tailored to provisional licence holders who need short-term insurance while learning to drive.

Our policies provide third-party cover across European countries.

The weekend car insurance policy is only valid in the EU, if the vehicle being insured is located in Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, at the policy start date and time and at policy end date and time. 

 You may be able to add fully comprehensive cover to drive abroad in Europe as an optional extra. See our help and support page to find out more.

Our cancellation policy means you can cancel at any time with a refund for any unused premiums, provided no claim has been made.

There are two options for you to cancel your weekend car insurance policy: 

Option 1 – Please sign into your Dayinsure Customer Access account – click on the cancel button of the live policy you would like to cancel and follow the on-screen instructions. 

Option 2 – Click the manage policy and view documents button in your confirmation email, confirm your details, click on the cancel button and then follow the on-screen instructions.

The amount of excess you’ll need to pay will depend on your individual circumstances and vehicle details, but the exact figure will be confirmed before you purchase your weekend car insurance. Your excess details will then be provided on your insurance certificate.

Yes! You may already have an annual policy that covers you to drive your own vehicle but, if you want to borrow a car for a short period of time, then weekend car insurance could be the perfect solution.

Chances are, the vehicle’s owner already has a main insurance policy, but they can be reassured that any No Claims Discount won’t be affected by any temporary cover you take out.

Any other driver would need to take out their own, separate insurance. If you’re planning on splitting the driving on a borrowed vehicle with someone else, then both of you should take out individual policies to insure the car for a weekend.

We guarantee to update the Motor Insurance Database (MID) every seven days or sooner but we do recommend that you carry your insurance certificate with you for the time that you’re covered for. Our app also stores your documents in one central location and makes it easy to access your insurance certificate from anywhere.
