Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. What have you got planned?
- Flowers? Check.
- Chocolate? Check.
- A date night? Check.
Another way of making this 14 February extra special is to treat your significant other to a road trip that takes in one of the UK’s most beautiful destinations…
Wherever you’re heading this Valentine’s Day, you’re going to need to think about how you get there. Whether winding through the Highlands or heading down to the south coast, a drive can be part of your celebrations. Temporary car insurance makes this all the more easier – especially if you’re going to need to borrow a car or fancy sharing the driving.
What are the benefits of temporary car insurance this Valentine’s Day?
It could be you don’t own a car of your own or if you’re heading out on a hiking trip, you just don’t have the space in your car and need to borrow a bigger one. Maybe a friend owns your dream car and is happy to let you drive it for a few days to get a feel for it.
As mentioned, temporary car insurance can put both yours and the vehicle owner’s mind at ease if you need to borrow a car for any reason…
How far are you planning to drive to get where you need to go for your Valentine’s treat? In addition to packing the snacks and compiling the playlist, you’ll also need to decide who’s driving or do you both want to share the load. Our temporary car insurance makes it easy for you both to drive – with comprehensive cover.
Another policy detail we’re sure you’ll love is any existing no claims discounts won’t be affected. As temporary car insurance is a completely separate policy, the owner won’t lose their bonus if you’re borrowing their car. If you’re sharing the drive, this detail might just save an unnecessary argument if the worst does happen…
Even if you decide on a last-minute trip, we’ve got you covered. With quotes in under 2 minutes and policies starting at the time you suggest, even the most spontaneous romantic trip can be covered.
We also offer cover from 1 hour to 28 days – all at an affordable rate – so you can cover yourselves and only pay for the time you need, whether it be a day trip, weekend or even a week away.
Where should we go this Valentine’s Day?
In addition to your quality time on the road, you might want to return to somewhere that played a special part in your relationship or you could be keen to explore and experience some new places. The UK has something for everyone – from retreats for nature lovers to relaxing spa breaks and city trips teeming with culture.
Here are just a few options that will warm up your February:
- The Scottish Highlands – Ben Nevis, Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle. This beautiful region teems with history for any couple that loves to explore.
- The Peak District – Historic houses, wonderful wildlife and beautiful trails for when you leave the car (the Pennine Way and Monsal Trail are musts).
- Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) – Enjoy trips through rolling hills, explore caves and take on the Four Waterfalls Walk together.
- The Lake District – Enjoy a romantic boat ride over Lake Windermere, share a candlelit dinner with your loved one and discover the places that have inspired artists from Beatrix Potter to Taylor Swift.
- The Jurassic Coast – Whether you’re heading to Devon or Dorset for your getaway, you’ll be able to walk down Chesil Beach, visit Lulworth Cove and search for fossils with your partner.
You can make your trip extra special by researching the finest restaurants near your destination or spending a cosy night by the fire in a boutique hotel. Explore all the things to do around the area you’re visiting and remember to have fun.
With comprehensive, hassle-free and flexible temporary car insurance, you can drive anywhere you want in the UK as you make your memories.
