Get temporary motor insurance from 1 – 28 days When would you use Temporary Car Insurance? Temporary car insurance was originally designed for businesses involved in the motor trade but has since been made available to the general public.

Temporary motor insurance policies are usually available for periods of between 1 and 28 days and can be used to insure a car, van or motorbike. Most providers offer online quotes, enabling you to avoid lengthy conversations with call centres, and your certificate of insurance can often be emailed to you instantly.
