Our Professional Short Term Car Insurance Services
Looking for short-term car insurance doesn’t have to be hard. Whether you need cover for just a day or a few weeks, we offer flexible solutions to suit every kind of short-term driving need. Here’s how we can assist you with the right insurance at the right time.
1 Day Car Insurance
This option works best when you only need coverage for a single day. It’s perfect for test drives, picking up a newly purchased vehicle or using a borrowed car for a short trip. You get full protection without the need for a long-term policy.
Weekly Car Insurance
This is ideal for drivers who need cover for just a few days to a week. If you’re visiting family, working away from home or waiting for a new policy to begin, this gives you reliable short-term protection without the cost of a full policy.
Temporary Cover for Borrowed Vehicles
If you’re using a friend or family member’s vehicle, this cover protects both you and the car owner. It offers peace of mind during short use, ensuring you are legally covered while behind the wheel.
Short-Term Insurance for Test Drives
When buying a car privately or from a dealer, short-term insurance allows you to take the vehicle for a proper test drive without risk. It protects you and the seller from unexpected events during the drive.
Temporary Cover for Car Sellers
If you’re planning to sell your car and it’s not insured, this option gives you basic protection while potential buyers test it or drive it off after purchase. It’s an easy way to ensure both you and the buyer are covered.
Insurance for Rental Vehicles
Renting a car for a short trip or while your car is in the workshop? This cover ensures you’re not stuck with high costs from the rental company and gives you the freedom to drive with confidence.
Cover for Unregistered Vehicle Permits
When moving an unregistered vehicle, you’ll need special cover to stay legal on the road. This service ensures the vehicle is insured while being taken for inspection, repair or sale.
Insurance for Interstate Vehicle Travel
Driving a vehicle across state lines often requires extra coverage. This type of insurance helps you stay protected during trips that involve different state laws or longer travel times.
Temporary Cover for Vehicle Repairs or Servicing
If your car is being serviced or repaired and you’re driving a loan car, this insurance keeps you covered. It protects you during the time you’re using a different vehicle while yours is in the workshop.
