Why short term car insurance?

There are many reasons why you may need to arrange a short term policy, and with options from 1 hour to 28 days available, you can arrange cover in as little as 2 minutes with a provider you can trust.

Here are just a few of the reasons you may need to take our cover:

  • Borrowing a car: If you only need a vehicle for a short period, such as a weekend trip or a one-time event, temporary insurance allows you to cover the specific duration you require.
  • Buying a new car: Drive it home with GoShorty, with insurance from an hour upwards, leaving you time to sort your annual policy out once you're home in your new wheels.
  • Moving house: When borrowing a friend's or family member's car or van for a house move, temporary insurance ensures you have correct cover during your move.
  • Test drives: If you're considering purchasing a new car and want to take it for a test drive, temporary insurance can provide cover for the duration of the test period.
  • Additional drivers: When you have occasional guest drivers, like friends or family members, temporary insurance allows you to extend coverage to them without affecting your regular policy or no claims discount.
  • Road trips with friends: If you're visiting a new location and plan to use a friend's or family member's car temporarily, a short-term insurance policy can provide coverage during your stay.
  • Emergency situations: In cases where you need to drive a vehicle in an emergency and you're not covered by your regular insurance, a temporary policy can offer immediate cover.
  • Avoiding lapses in cover: If you're between standard insurance policies and want to ensure continuous coverage, temporary insurance can bridge the gap and protect you during the interim period.
  • Car broken down or in for repairs: Use a short term policy to borrow someone else’s car whilst yours is getting fixed, with prices from as little as £20 as day.
  • Learning to drive: Take out insurance for just the time you are practising in your car or someone else’s car, or even for your driving test too.
