When might I need two-day car insurance?

Car insurance for two days is a great way for you to save money when paying for a whole year of insurance is unnecessary.

Here are just some of the many occasions where two-day car insurance could be the perfect way to save:

  • A weekend away – If you’re away for the weekend, you might want to share the driving duties. With two-day insurance, you can drive at any time without having to adjust the other person’s existing policy. If there was an accident, their No Claims Discount wouldn’t be affected.
  • Test driving – We all know how important it is to try before you buy, so if the dealer or private seller lets you, why not take a couple of days to get to know the car? You’ll only pay for the cover you need and with fully comprehensive cover as standard, both you and the seller get peace of mind on the test drive.
  • Driving away a new car – Like what you see? You can simply buy another two-day policy to drive away your new car and use it while you arrange your ongoing insurance. Want a bit longer to find the perfect annual policy? Take up to 28 days with temporary car insurance.
  • Moving home – Need something a bit bigger to shift your stuff? Borrow a larger car from a friend or family member for a couple of days with 48-hour car insurance. Need something even bigger? You can also find temporary van insurance with Tempcover.
  • Visiting home for the weekend – Got a child back from university or a friend or family member staying for the weekend? Give the gift of mobility and let them get around in your car while they stay. With car insurance for two days, they can drive your vehicle without the cost of an expensive annual policy. They’re not tied to long-term contracts and it won’t affect any existing premiums.

Benefits of two-day insurance

Choosing two-day insurance over traditional insurance has plenty of benefits. Next time you need car insurance for just a few days, here’s why you should choose two-day insurance:

  • It’s unbelievably quick and easy – You could get a quote for two days of temporary car insurance in under 2 minutes with Tempcover. With our quick and easy quote process and instant quotes, you can be covered and on the road in minutes.
  • Only pay for the cover you need – Don’t worry about paying for cover you just don’t want. With temporary insurance, get cover as and when you need it and only pay for the time you actually want.
  • Avoid the hassle of adjusting existing policies – Borrowing a car should be simple, so don’t let insurance complicate things. Get a separate, standalone policy with Tempcover and remove the risk of affecting the owner’s No Claims Discount or increasing their premiums long term.
  • The cost-effective insurance solution – We all know how expensive annual insurance can be, especially for young and new drivers. If you’re only driving for two days, don’t waste your money on expensive annual insurance. Get more cost-effective insurance with two-day car insurance.
  • Fully comprehensive cover as standard – Relax on the road knowing that with our temporary policy, you get fully comprehensive cover as standard. Should an accident happen, your vehicle and any third parties are covered.
