Christmas car insurance
You may be wondering when you’ll need temporary car insurance over the festive season. The answer could be on many occasions and in various scenarios:
- Driving home – Whether you’re visiting family or friends or are a student returning for the Christmas break, there’s a chance you might need a bigger vehicle to transport all your stuff (or sack loads of presents). One way to do this is by borrowing a car (discover the benefits in our Should I borrow or hire a car? Blog post). With temporary car insurance, you can ensure you’re fully covered when you drive somebody else’s car.
- Running the festive errands – Are you missing the Christmas crackers to top off your festive feast? Or do you need to do a last-minute turkey dash? If you’ve been tasked with running the gauntlet of a Christmas Eve shop visit for last-minute bits and pieces and need to borrow a car, our temporary car insurance will ensure you’re fully covered for this small journey.
- You’re the designated driver – Teetotal, non-drinker or just not fancying a tipple at the Christmas party? Borrow a car to get where you need to go (and back) and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re fully insured – and that the owner’s no claims discount won’t be affected, should the worst happen.
- You’re heading out on a road trip – Meeting up with friends you haven’t seen for a long time and looking for a day out during the festive break. Why not share the drive if heading further afield? The flexibility of temporary car insurance means you can take turns at driving, meaning you also get to take turns in relaxing and eating any leftover sweets from the big day.
- There’s an emergency – Although many of us don’t want to think about it, there is always a chance that something could go wrong at Christmas. If you need to get somewhere in an emergency, get some temporary car insurance and make sure everything is all set. The last thing you’d want on top of all the stress of an emergency is points on your licence or a substantial fine!
Tempcover It! This Christmas
Don’t just take our word for it. Below are some customer comments (left on Tempcover’s Trustpilot page) about how temporary car insurance has given them some extra Christmas cheer:
“Excellent service. Needed temp insurance cover over the Christmas holidays very quickly due to a family emergency. Getting cover for 2 days – the ‘forms’ were quick, easy to complete and stress free – which was very important to me. The cover was also very affordable which obviously is a bonus. Peace of mind and very pleased. Would definitely recommend and use again in the future.”
