More and more of us have found ourselves in the position of needing insurance cover for a car or van for a short period of time. Until the last couple of years, it was actually very difficult to get a over 50 life insurance deal as the major providers only had offerings for 10 to 12 months.
Fortunately, there are now many specialist insurers with specific products available online tailored to individuals needs, whether it be short term car insurance, over 50 life insurance or even specialist cover for events and entertainment. With regards to getting short term cover for a vehicle, there are now policies available that will cover you from as little as 1 day up to 30 days. This allows a quick solution to getting covered at short notice with no need to worry when you have finished using the vehicle. A few years back the only option would have probably been to take out a one year policy and then have to cancel this when you no longer need the protection. The downside here was not only the hassle of having to remember to cancel the policy but also the administration fees incurred.
The internet is a great platform to compare the different providers now offering temp cover as you can quickly see the various deals on offer and get instant quotes from many companies. Using a price comparison website will aid in this as quotes from many different insurers can be viewed by just submitting your details the one time.
It's important to not just automatically select the lowest priced quote without checking the terms and conditions. If you travelling with others, it is also worth taking note if the insurance can cover additional drivers on a temporary basis. Many companies now give you the option to cover an additional driver, on your vehicle, separately. The advantage of this is not losing your no claims bonus should an incident happen, which may occur if you just add an extra named driver to your existing insurance policy.
