One way to insure yourself to drive if you only need cover for a short amount of time is with a daily car insurance policy. It allows you to buy cover for a vehicle whether you own it yourself or it belongs to someone else. You can take out a policy to cover a period of between 1 and 28 days.
This type of short term policy is useful when a full years worth of car insurance would not be needed. So why would you only want to insure yourself for a short period of time rather than getting a standard length or cover? One obvious example is if you are borrowing someone else's vehicle. You can get a temporary policy to cover you to drive a car or a van. So if you are borrowing a friend or maybe a relatives car or van then you can take out a policy to cover you for the period that you need to drive that vehicle.
One of the major benefits of taking out a separate policy is that you do not have to bother the owner of the car that you are borrowing. There is no need for them to add you to their own policy and therefore their policy will remain unaffected, should you have an accident the claim is made on your policy and not theirs.
Many people believe that if they drive someone else's car that they will automatically be covered by their own annual policy if they have one or that of the car owners policy. In most cases you will not be covered to legally drive that vehicle.
Whilst a daily car insurance document provides a great way to provide short term cover you may find it difficult to get daily insurance under 21. Younger drivers are considered a high risk group and many day insurance providers will not provide you with a policy.
