What would you expect to be included with a Temporary Car Insurance policy? What’s included with a temporary car insurance policy will depend on the insurer providing the cover, and so you should always check that you understand the policy terms before purchasing cover. Generally speaking, most temporary policies include the following:

• Comprehensive cover for damage to the vehicle in question including loss from fire, theft or vandalism • Cover for liability to 3rd parties including injury and damage to property • Compulsory EU cover Other policies may also include the features above but offer additional benefits such as: • Uninsured loss recovery • Temporary breakdown cover

It’s important to note that not everyone will be eligible for temporary car insurance. The majority of temporary policies are available only to drivers aged 21 or over, and in many cases you must be at least 25 to qualify. You should also remember that you cannot use a temporary policy to build up a no claims bonus.
