car insurance for 1 day

 

There are occassions where your normal insurance company or broker may not be able to help. These cirumstances may include borrowing a friend or colleagues car for a trip, taking an extended test drive a premium vehicle or if you have just bought a vehicle at auction and need short term insurance to get it home safely and legally car insurance for 1 day

There annual policies are competitive too and you can administer your own policy details online anytime you like - no more waiting in endless queue's for call centres, everything is instantly available online. Check it out here short term car insurance 1 - 28 days

1 day car insurance for young drivers 

Cheap single day car insurance

Believe it or not its actually relatively simple to organise insurance cover for periods between 1-28 days for almost any reason (this certainly did not use to be the case!) There are still some sticky areas however,particularly with cars that have an insurance group rating of 18-20, in most cases drivers have to be aged 25 or over, additionly the excess charged for young drivers insurance up to 24 can be up to £750 for high performance cars and probably averages around the £500 mark. Although the excess may seem high the actual premiums themselves are quite cheap, allowing you to get fully comprehensive 1 day car insurance for a temporary additional vehicle, a newly purchased vehicle from an auction or car supermarket, a courtesy car, an unaccompanied test-drive of a car(some garages will insist on you taking insurance for an extended test drive particularly on prestige models) or even for track day driving or other racing events that require insurance.

track day car insurance 

insurance for open events at race tracks

Taking your own vehicle along to the local race circuit is becoming more and more popular, if you own an Impreza, EVO, Skyline or any other high performance car (particularly a Japanese import) than it can be frustrating on the road with speed cameras everywhere - but on the track you can really let loose! However your existing insurer will not cover you for any damage whatsoever - its specifically excluded on your policy. Many people think the best way around this is to simply get a mate to tow their damaged car a few miles away from the track and then fraudulently claim the car was damaged on the public roads. However, be warned, the insurers are well aware of this practice and if you are caught you will not only get no money for your claim - you will be prosecuted!

Insure for a day 

short term car insurance explained

Insuring a vehicle for a single day, or 7 days, 28 days or even 30 days is pretty simple as long as you use a broker that is familiar with this type of policy. Like normal car insurance policies this can be arranged online or over the phone and cover can commence immediately. As mentioned above the only real difference is the excess tends to be higher. More info can be found at the FSA website or the ABI (association of British insurers) website.
