Short-term cover, done properly.
Temporary car & van insurance from one hour to thirty days. Fully comprehensive, DVLA-verified, and your certificate is in your inbox before the kettle boils.
Made for the way people actually drive
Annual insurance is great when life runs to schedule. For everything else, there's this.
Borrowing a car
Drive a friend or family member's car without putting their no-claims bonus at risk.
Learner practice
Extra practice hours in a parent's car between lessons, properly insured.
Business trips
A one-off work journey that your personal policy doesn't stretch to.
One-off van jobs
Moving house, collecting furniture, or a single day of deliveries.
Bridging a gap
Between annual policies? Stay legal for the days in between — no auto-renewal.
Test drives
Buying privately? Get properly covered before you get behind the wheel.
How it works
Three steps, about two minutes end-to-end.
Enter your reg
We pull the make, colour, fuel, tax and MOT straight from the DVLA in real time — no typing out your vehicle details.
Pick your cover
One fixed price per duration, shown up front in plain English. No hidden fees appearing at checkout.
Pay & drive away
Secure card payment via Stripe with 3-D Secure. Your certificate is emailed the moment payment clears.
Simple, fixed prices
Pick how long you need. That's the whole price — insurance premium tax included.
5 Hours
An afternoon of errands, a house move run, or a test drive.
Choose 5 Hours1 Day
A full day of driving — borrow a car without touching anyone's no-claims.
Choose 1 Day30 Days
A whole month insured — ideal for bridging between annual policies.
Choose 30 DaysFour rules we don't break
Insurance bought quickly shouldn't mean insurance bought badly.
Fixed prices, no surprises
The price you see on the plan is the price you pay. We don't add fees at checkout.
Your no-claims stays yours
A temporary policy runs alongside any annual policy. Claims on it don't touch the owner's NCB.
No auto-renewal, ever
Your cover simply ends when it ends. Nothing to cancel, nothing quietly rolling on.
Plain English throughout
If a document needs a glossary, we've failed. Everything we send you reads like a letter.
Frequently asked
The honest answers, in the order people ask them.
Can I insure my own car temporarily?
Yes. People commonly use temporary cover to bridge a gap between annual policies, or to get a SORN'd car to an MOT or a buyer.
Does it affect the owner's no-claims bonus?
No. Your temporary policy is completely separate. A claim on it doesn't touch the vehicle owner's annual policy or no-claims bonus.
Is my policy on the Motor Insurance Database?
Yes. Every policy is filed on the MID — the database police and ANPR cameras check. Filing can take up to 7 days to appear publicly, so always carry your emailed certificate as proof.
What do I need to get covered?
Just the vehicle registration, your name, email and a payment card. We verify the vehicle with the DVLA automatically — no paperwork to upload.
How quickly is my certificate issued?
Within seconds of payment clearing. It arrives as a PDF in your inbox — keep it with you whenever you're driving the insured vehicle.
Who can buy a policy?
Drivers aged 17–85 with a valid UK, EU or international licence, insuring a UK-registered car or van up to 3.5 tonnes.
