Temporary cover offers a short-term solution to the problem of arranging car insurance on a car you don't need all year.
How to get temporary car insurance
If you need temporary car insurance, it's generally because you have to arrange something quickly and don't want to organise 12 months of cover at short notice.
Adding a car or driver short term to your existing policy can be done quickly over the phone by our customer service team.
With temporary insurance, the standard level of cover you get is fully comprehensive.
With Admiral, this means the temporary cover you have can be fully comprehensive even if your existing policy is third party, fire and theft.
Whether you're learning to drive, need a car for a weekend or you want to add a second car to your policy for a few days, we have temporary car insurance options to suit your needs.
What do you need temporary car insurance for?
There are a few reasons you may need temporary car insurance:
- If you want to share your car with someone you know - your son or daughter, family member, close friend or colleague
- If you need to borrow a car while you're home from university for the weekend or you're planning a road trip with friends and want to share the driving
- If you're learning to drive in a family member's car
Temporary Additional Vehicle cover could help if you're looking to add a second car to your existing Admiral policy for a little while.
You don't need to start a new policy, simply add it on for up to 30 days.
Drive away insurance
If you buy a new car, you may need cover to get you home from the garage, or until the renewal date of your existing car's policy if there are a couple of weeks left.
We can insure that car short term on your policy, and if you speak to our customer service team they'll let you know about any admin fees.
If you're looking to temporarily insure a car for a reason we can't help with, then there are specialist insurers out there who can.
In the same way you look for annual car insurance, you can visit price comparison sites for quotes.
Temporary Additional Vehicle
While you have a car insured with us, you can add a second car, short term, without having to start a brand new policy.
If the car is registered to you or an immediate family member, you can add it for up to 30 days. You may want to do this if you're selling a car.
Both Temporary Additional Driver and Temporary Additional Vehicle are subject to administration charges and terms and conditions would apply.
Our Customer Service team will be able to advise you on any additional charges.
