Science Fiction Day takes place on 2 January – the famed author Isaac Asimov’s birthday. This is a day to celebrate the wonders of science fiction but it also got us thinking, how many of sci-fi’s most famous vehicles would benefit from temporary insurance…
Car: Delorean
Film: Back to the Future
Doc Brown and Marty McFly head off on some very long journeys – whether going into the past or back to the future. If they wanted to share the driving, they could take out temporary car insurance and both drive the Delorean. Their only worries would be whether the Flux Capacitator is working and if they can reach 88mph…
Car: KITT
TV series: Knight Rider
KITT – with apologies to the Hoff, the true star of ‘80s TV show Knight Rider – is not actually a million miles away from the smart cars of today. If you’re in the market for one similar to KITT, get out some temporary insurance so you can drive it home straight away.
Car: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Book/Film: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Would we count Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as fantasy, magic or science fiction? Why not all three… The car flies after all. Unfortunately, old Chitty can prove a little unreliable with Caractacus Potts constantly working on repairs. While he fixes things, maybe Truly Scrumptious can borrow a car from her dad and cover herself to drive it.
Car: Ecto-1
Film: Ghostbusters
Who you gonna call? Not any ghost brokers, that’s for sure. Our fully comprehensive and legitimate temporary car insurance will keep you covered from one hour to 28 days. As for those pesky ghost brokers? Tempcover works in collaboration with our insurance providers to identify, locate and stop fraudulent activity*.
Car: Light cycles
Film: Tron
Tempcover doesn’t only cover cars. We also offer temporary motorbike insurance so those super-speedy light cycles from the world of Tron could be covered for as long as the hackers need them.
We hope you have a good Science Fiction Day. Let us know what your favourite sci-fi film is!
