Temporary insurance or Short term insurance is a policy you can use to cover yourself on most types of cars, vans or motorbikes without risk of effecting your No Claims Bonus should the worst happen.
This insurance can be used to cover a vehicle temporarily until more permanent insurance is arranged or it can be used on top of a regular policy, so that if you are borrowing or loaning a vehicle, the no claims built up on the regular policy will not be affected should an accident occur.
What are the benefits to temporary insurance?
If you are driving another vehicle it can be more beneficial to take out a separate policy for yourself rather than being added to the owners’ annual insurance or driving their vehicle under your insurance.
A separate policy can cover you fully comprehensive where relying on your own policy doesn’t always mean you are covered and it is unlikely to be on a fully comprehensive basis. It can also be cheaper and save time and hassle making changes to someone else’s policy.
You can also use a temporary policy if you want to test drive or drive away a vehicle you have just bought and have yet to arrange permanent insurance.
