A little about us
About Tempcover
Temporary cover.
For the plans you make.
Borrowing a car, sharing a journey or using a van for a short time? Tempcover helps you explore temporary vehicle insurance online, with your quote, policy details and documents in one place.
Car or van. A few hours or a few days.
Start with the cover you need.
Life doesn't always need a long commitment
A little flexibility
goes a long way.
Temporary insurance lets you look for cover around a particular journey or period of use. Available cover depends on the driver, vehicle and policy terms.
Borrowing a vehicle
Arrange your own cover when using a friend or family member’s car, subject to eligibility.
Sharing the driving
Plan ahead for a trip and check that the cover includes the driver, vehicle and use you have in mind.
Making use of a van
Explore temporary van cover for a short period. Check the permitted use and exclusions before you drive.

Check your documents
When a policy is issued, check its certificate and schedule for the insured vehicle, driver and exact cover times.
A quote alone does not provide insurance cover. Only drive when you have an issued policy and its cover has started.

Before you start
A few useful things
to know.
What should I have ready?
Have the vehicle registration, your driving licence details, address and contact details ready. Think about when you want cover to begin and how long you need it.
How do I know what is covered?
Review the cover details and terms shown with your quote. Your issued policy documents set out the cover, conditions, exclusions and any applicable excess. Contact us if you need help finding these.
When does my insurance start and finish?
Use the start and end date and time shown on your issued policy. The dashboard displays UK time, including British Summer Time where applicable. Submitting a quote does not start cover.
