FAQs
Can I get temporary insurance?
Getting temporary car insurance depends on a number of factors, but we’re confident we can cover you if you’re:
- Aged between 18 and 78 years old.
- UK, EU or international driving licence holder.
- A permanent UK resident for the last 12 months or a British expatriate who has previously been a permanent resident of the UK.
- A driver with no more than seven penalty points accrued in the last three years.
- A driver who hasn’t been disqualified from driving for the last two years, and/or has had no more than two fault claims in the last three years.
What are the minimum and maximum value of vehicles I can insure on this policy?
No. As soon as your insurance cover has started, you can drive your car. Your black box will then either be fitted through an organised appointment with our box company, or we’ll send your device in the post and you can fit it yourself.
Will my insurance premiums change throughout the year because I have a telematics smart box?
The minimum vehicle value is £500 and the maximum claim for a vehicle is capped at £65,000 depending on the insurer chosen.
What happens if I speed?
Simply put, speeding is illegal and can result in large fines and points on your licence. You should always abide by the Highway Code, which is why your speed always factors into your overall driving score. Depending on the severity of the event and the impact it has on your journey score, speeding can lead to cancellation of your policy. Please refer to your terms and conditions for more information.
Will this insurance cover me to drive hire/rented cars?
Unfortunately, we’re unable to insure hire, rental, or short-term lease vehicles – so unfortunately if the vehicle you want to drive falls into this category, we can’t provide valid insurance for you.
Do I need to be the owner of the vehicle?
No, you don’t need to be the vehicle owner to take out insurance with us. As long as you have the owner’s permission, then you’re able to drive the vehicle with a temporary insurance policy.
Who do I call if I need to make a claim on this insurance?
To claim, please call 0333 241 3392. Our dedicated claims handling team will explain everything you need to know about making a claim and guide you through the process step by step.
Can I drive in the EU on a temporary insurance policy?
Temporary insurance gives you the minimum level of cover (third party equivalent cover) required in any EU country. If you’re not sure what the minimum level of cover is where you’re going, you should be able to find that information online, perhaps with a native insurer to that country. We don’t currently offer fully comprehensive cover in the EU at this time.
