Temporary Van Insurance For Expatriates

For expats returning to the UK, temporary expatriates insurance is a great way to get around easily while saving time and money on motor insurance when back in the UK.

For most expats, getting around when visiting on holiday can be difficult and often very expensive. The rising cost of public transport and lack of practical and affordable alternatives means that travelling while in the UK comes with a fair amount of costs.

One of the easiest ways to get about while back in the UK is to borrow a vehicle from a friend or family member. It’s unlikely you’ll have to pay to borrow it and access to a vehicle gives you the freedom to come and go as and when you like.

Unfortunately, despite being former residents, many expats will find it tough to get the proper insurance.

Without a UK address, many insurance providers won’t offer you cover and driving without or with the wrong insurance is illegal.

If you’re looking for cover while visiting the UK, temporary expatriates insurance from Tempcover could be the ideal solution for you!

Cover is available for 1-28 days so it’s suitable for a wide range of situations. Whether it’s a passing visit, or you’re here for a while, you can choose the policy duration that fits your needs.

Why choose short term insurance?

Save time and money

A temporary policy can be the most affordable way for an expat to get insurance when borrowing another vehicle.

You only pay for the cover you need with our flexible, tailored policies and it can even save the vehicle owner money.

You don’t have to worry about adjusting their existing insurance which not only comes with standard admin fees but can also have a big impact on the owner’s premiums.

For example, if you were to have an accident while driving the owner would lose their No Claims Discount even if you were the one driving.

This certainly wouldn’t make them too fond of you as it could cost them a lot of money on their future premiums.

But, because short term insurance is a separate, standalone policy, it won’t have any impact on their existing cover and won’t affect their No Claims Discount.

Visiting friends and family can be expensive as it is without having to fork out for insurance you don’t need. With temporary cover for expatriates, you only pay for the cover you actually want.
