If you will be borrowing or renting a vehicle to take a holiday by car, you can probably expect to pay outrageous insurance fees. Motorists in need of vehicle insurance for these situations now have a new option available online. Through this online alternative, you are able to purchase short term auto insurance for a period of time, from one day up to twenty eight days.

This temporary insurance is available for cars or vans through a variety of online companies. A keyword search using terms such as: day insurance, temporary car insurance, or short term car insurance, or simply typing in the company website address, will allow you to find their websites. The insurance can be prepared and paid for online, with the opportunity to print the policy right on your home printer.

While covered under this temporary insurance, a claim will not affect the annual policy of the vehicle owner, as this is a completely individual policy.

Coverage in the event that you should break down is also included with your short term auto insurance known as an uninsured loss recovery policy. Whether using this in the UK or in Europe, this benefit is especially advantageous.

You can extend your temporary coverage to include other borrowed automobiles, and be covered for travel to France or other locations in Europe.

If your own vehicle does not afford enough room for your holiday travel, this auto insurance option will come in quite handy. It is perfectly acceptable to add a trailer or caravan if need be. Be sure to investigate your insurance options thoroughly, for although these types of insurance are basically fully comprehensive, if your plans include driving abroad, the comprehensive coverage needs to be verified.

Most of these insurers will allow coverage if you have held a UK or European drivers license for at least twelve months, without claims of your fault for three years, and less than six points against your license. Each company is different, however, and the automobiles that they will insure, and their criteria for coverage will vary.

When your holiday plans include borrowing or renting a car, you can find comfort in the fact that the fully comprehensive coverage of your short term auto insurance, will protect your annual insurance no claims discount if you should happen to have a claim.

Short Term Car Insurance and Holidays

There are many reasons why you may not be able to go on the holiday of your choice. Money gets in the way all too frequently, along with the logistics of the arrangements. What we mean by this is when you choose a particular type of holiday which involves driving, only to discover that the car is not up to it.

It is too old, unreliable, too small, cannot take the luggage, trailer, caravan or the family. Up until now your choices were limited to hiring another vehicle or borrowing a car and mid-term adjusting your annual insurance policy to cover it, or changing your plans altogether as the cost of hire or the nightmare of insurance mid-term adjustments were too much to cope with.

Is there an alternative to this? We think we may have stumbled on one, a new insurance product for motorists on the internet. It is short term car insurance which you purchase by the day for up to a maximum of 28 days at a time.

There are several companies which offer this type of insurance for cars or vans. You can locate their websites by either their URL or typing in keywords such as short term car insurance, day insurance and temporary car insurance.

They all offer an internet based booking process and payment, with the option to view and print the short term insurance policy on your printer. All policies issued are registered with the MID.

The advantage of this type of insurance is that you can choose the short term period to insure a car/van and it is a separate insurance policy that does not impact on the vehicle owner’s annual policy in the event of a claim.

You also get the benefit of an uninsured loss recovery policy, which is daily breakdown cover for the same period as the car insurance. That is particularly useful for holidays both in the UK and in the EEC.

If your plans require the use of another vehicle which you can borrow off friends or family, then you can insure the vehicle in it’s own right and this includes extended European cover for those driving holidays to France and beyond in the EEC.

It is particularly useful if you need a more reliable car or more space than you have in your own family transport. You can even tow a trailer or caravan if that forms part of your holiday plans. The insurance is generally fully comprehensive, although you would need to shop around to get fully comprehensive for driving abroad.

The insurance offerings vary, from company to company, on their acceptance criteria and the vehicles they will insure, but generally 12 months holding a UK or EEC driving licence with no fault claims within 3 years and less than 6 penalty points endorsements will enable an on line application to be made for cover.

If your trip is scheduled to last longer than 28 days you can take a further period of cover consecutively, thus providing continuous cover beyond 28 days.

What we liked about the products were their flexibility and the speed of obtaining cover. They are more expensive than an annual policy, but a lot cheaper than hiring a car for your holidays.

All in all there is a place for short term car insurance in your holiday driving plans which will allow you to use someone else’s car with the peace of mind knowing you have fully comprehensive cover, and that in the event of a claim it will not affect the annual insurance no claims discount.

There is often times when you need to have a car for a short period of time, for example, students coming home from university for the holidays, borrowing a car from a friend or maybe overseas visitors. These are just a few of the times when a short-term policy may be of better use to somebody.

Recently, some car insurance providers have made short-term policies available and they are a good idea for somebody who is going to be driving a car on a temporary basis. The main plus point of these kind of policies is; if a driver was added on to somebody’s policy and they had an accident the policy holder would lose their no-claims discount. So this way it is piece of mind for the vehicle owner and the driver.

To find cheap car insurance in the past has been hard but with so many various policies out there, it is becoming less stressful. These kind of policies would also be extremely useful if you are; test-driving a car or maybe borrowing a friends van if you are moving house, short term policies can be the answer for people looking to avoid placing themselves on somebody else’s policy.

As motor insurance becomes ever more important, even the smallest of journeys need to covered and to risk not having insurance would be the biggest mistake. With new measures set out by the police in conjunction with the insurers, there really is no hiding place from insuring your car. This is one of the reasons why the insurance companies have made these short-term policies available.
