What's short term car insurance?

Car insurance image

Short term car insurance, sometimes referred to as temporary car insurance or one day car insurance, describes a policy that enables you or another person to drive your car for a short period of time.

Or it might cover you to drive a different car for a short time. This usually takes effect without jeopardising the no claims bonus on your main policy.

Short term car insurance could provide cover for a month or just one day.

Car insurance of this type is useful in a number of situations. You might want short term car insurance so that you can lend your car to a friend for a couple of days or borrow another car yourself.

Temporary car insurance can also be used if you need to get a newly bought car back home. Barclays does not offer short term car insurance.
