When would I need 3 day car insurance?
There are hundreds of situations when 3 day car insurance can be the right insurance option for you. Whether you’re enjoying a bank holiday weekend, a few days away or just need to borrow a car while yours is repaired, 3 day car insurance is the fast, flexible insurance option for you.
Whenever you need to use a car for a short period of time, short term cover can save you time and money. With temporary car insurance, you only pay for the cover you need. You choose how long you need, whether it’s 3 day insurance, 4 day insurance or 5 day car insurance – simply choose the time that’s right for you.
How much does 3-5 day car insurance typically cost?
Like all car insurance, the price of 3-5 day car insurance depends entirely on the details you provide when getting a quote. If you’re an inexperienced driver or plan to insure a high-powered and expensive vehicle, you can probably expect to pay more for your 3 day insurance than an older driver with more experience using a smaller, cheaper car.
Some of the details that will impact the price of your policy include:
- Your Age
- Your driving history and experience
- Your location
- Your occupation
- The make and model of the car
- The value of the car
- Your licence type
And, of course how long you want to get insurance for. Understandably 3 day car insurance will be cheaper than 4 day car insurance or 5 day insurance, however, longer policies will usually come with a discounted cost per day.
What does 3 day car insurance cover?
With comprehensive cover as standard on all 3 day insurance, 4 day insurance and 5 day car insurance policies, you’re covered for any damage to yourself, your car and/or any third parties involved in an accident.
