You can get temporary car insurance and temporary van insurance on the Tempcover app. Policies can last from one hour to 28 days, with a minimum of 1 day (24 hours) eligible for 30% off the Tempcover fee.
Policies are available 28 days in advance of the start date.
30% off the Tempcover fee will be automatically applied on every 1- to 28-day policy you buy. The Tempcover fee is the Tempcover’s cost for administering your policy. The 30% discount applies to this cost only.
It’s free to download the Tempcover app via the Apple Store or Google Play. Just download the app to your phone, fill in a few simple details, get a quote and you’ll be ready to hit the road.
First, download the Tempcover app via the Apple Store or Google Play. Once you have downloaded the app, you will be asked for some details to create your account. Log in to the account using these details and you’ll be on your way to getting your first quote.
With one-time set-up, faster quotes than our website and 30% off the Tempcover fee automatically applied every time (for 1-28-day policies), you’ll save both time and money.
You’ll also be able to see previous drivers you’ve insured, all your important documents in one place and add new vehicles. Our app makes it easy to get instant insurance on the go.
Once a policy has been purchased it cannot be changed or amended. It can be cancelled but you will not receive a refund. Your policy documents will be included in the Policies section of the app.
You can only obtain a quote from Tempcover using a UK/NI/EU or EEA licence. However, if during the application process Tempcover, or our Insurers, need to perform any additional validation checks, these can only be successfully completed with a UK Passport.
