--> Whatever the circumstances, if you are looking to secure temporary insurance, you might be asking yourself “am I eligible”? Well to answer this question, let’s look at the finer details of what you need to set up your temporary vehicle insurance policy.

With any insurance company that you choose, it’s always advisable to check the terms and conditions and whether there are any restrictions in place. Most companies, like us here at tempcover.com, will be able to offer insurance for those between the ages of 18 to 75.



You will also need to have owned a full UK license for more than six months, or alternatively you may use a provisional license if you were looking to be included on another car for a short amount of time. The most common case for this is if you are learning to drive and you wish to be covered in order to drive your parent’s car. In this sense, adding someone else onto your existing policy for the remainder of the year means that you won’t compromise your parent’s (or the owner of the car you’re looking to get insured on) no claims bonus.

If you meet all of the above criteria then you will be eligible for temporary insurance. Cover will be in place for a number of days, again dependent on the insurance company. At tempcover.com we offer insurance for a maximum of 28 days and you will be covered from the moment you complete the insurance policy.

Alternatively, if you are setting up insurance for a week’s time, you can set the start and end date for your short term insurance policy. This allows you to drive the car you are insured on at a later date, without having to worry about setting up a policy on the same day that you wish to drive your vehicle.

Always check with your insurance company to see what restrictions are in place. You want to end up with the correct insurance for the amount of time that you will be using the car, so check the details of the policy before you get in the car and drive away. If you are completely satisfied with everything then you are good to go.
