Our story
Tempcover was built on the idea that insurance could be different and could fit around you and your needs.
We try to remove the frustration of traditional insurance and develop quicker, easier and more innovative ways to get you covered and back on the road.
In 2006, Tempcover founder and former CEO Alan Inskip had a lightbulb moment - an insurance provider that can offer truly flexible cover for the time drivers actually need. No long-term commitment, no auto-renewals, just the cover they want for the amount of time they need. The next day, Tempcover was born.
In the 20 years since we’ve grown a whole new way of insuring drivers as well as our business and now help millions of drivers find cover for an array of vehicles for hundreds of those everyday situations – whilst continuing to keep the pursuit of simple, yet revolutionary insurance our number one focus.
