Can I get car insurance for just the weekend?

Updated over 3 weeks ago

Ever started to plan something for the weekend and found yourself wondering hey, wouldn’t it be helpful if you could get car insurance for just the weekend? You’ve already found someone to lend you their car for the weekend, but you’re not insured to drive it – what do you do?

Well, traditionally, you would have to go through all the complicated faff of getting yourself insured on your friend or family members policy, which can be time consuming and expensive. Luckily, the way we do car insurance is changing and there are now more options than ever to insure yourself for a short time, and that includes getting comprehensive cover for just the weekend! This could be perfect for:

  • Moving house over the weekend

  • Weekend staycation

  • Visiting friends & family

  • Travelling overnight for a wedding

With flexible options tailored to your schedule, you can drive with peace of mind, knowing you're protected for exactly the time you need. Short term car insurance is perfect for drivers who need to keep things flexible – you're in the driver's seat.

You’ll be able to find full details of what’s included in your policy while you’re buying your policy and in your policy documents.
