A better kind of car sharing insurance
Hourly
One hour car insurance – for the car sharers and the test drivers.
Hourly insurance is perfect for sharing a long drive, borrowing a friend’s car, or taking a car for a test drive.
Just sign up, buy a policy, and you’ll be ready to get behind the wheel in a few minutes.
If it’s not long enough, you can extend your policy in a few taps.
Daily
For the big moves and the day trips. One day car insurance offers short-term cover for big adventures.
It’s perfect for longer drives.
And it’s great for moving a bunch of stuff from one home to another. (Which is stressful enough.)
Weekly
Weekly car insurance is great for those longer getaways.
One week car insurance is also perfect if you’re trying to sell your car, and you need to keep it insured while you find a buyer.
You can extend through the app – in seconds.
Monthly
Monthly car insurance covers you for 28 days.
It’s ideal when you need insurance for a bit longer, but don’t want the hassle of being a named driver.
It’s for the students back home from uni, and those longer driving trips around the UK.
Drive away insurance
Take some of the hassle out of buying a new car with short-term car insurance.
Our temporary car insurance is fully comprehensive. So if you’re test driving a car, or driving a car home after buying it, you’ll be covered.
So that’s one less thing to worry about.
