Why choose our what vehicles can’t you cover??

1
From 1-28 days. You only pay for the cover you want and only when you need it.

Unfortunately, on some occasions we won’t be able to offer you short-term cover. These include the following circumstances:

  • Where car modifications are present (except for those designed to aid disabled drivers)
  • Where the car is left-hand drive (though we can insure left-hand drive motorhomes and caravanettes)
  • If you’re trying to recover an impounded vehicle (try our specific impounded car insurance instead)
  • Where the car has more than 8 seats in total
  • Where the car has been hired/rented and/or used for taxi, courier or home delivery
  • Where the vehicle is not registered in Great Britain, Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man.

Apologies if we are unable to help you today.  We wish you all the best in your search.
