Your Tempcover app has been revolutionised to make getting the temporary insurance you need unbelievably quick and easy.

With our brand new 1-time set-up, simply tell us who you are and what vehicle you want to insure once and you’re ready to go. Any time you need temporary car or van insurance, you’re then just 2 steps away from being covered with our unbelievably fast process.

Remember, if you’re on the lookout for flexible car and van insurance for those everyday moments when all you need is a few hours or days cover, temporary insurance with the Tempcover app is the ideal insurance option.

Whether you need to borrow a vehicle for a day or two, want to test drive before buying or even drive away a new set of wheels without having to arrange annual cover, Tempcover is here to help.

Short term cover is available for just 1 hour up to 28 days, so whatever your situation, we’re confident you can get the cover you need. Avoid the hassle and expense of adjusting an annual policy and get instant cover whenever and wherever you are.

Ratings and reviews

So mixed review! First the bad, why is it that I had NO choice but to update the TempCover App otherwise I couldn't open it, when it updated, its lost ALL my data! All the cars and vans I insured through my business, the insurance I have for one of my motors I'm driving now... even my driving licence info had to be put in again! The whole app just restarted and lost all my old data! Good thing, it's super quick and very reasonably priced insurance when you only need it for a couple of hours/days

Excellent service. Quotes at first seem more expensive than other providers, but once you go through the quote and reduce the premium you will find they provide much better cover for just a few pounds more (each time less than £10 more than the cheapest quote with excess over £300 less). Tempcover have proven to be the best short term insurance provider there is.

A much needed service. Easy to manage website with multiple options. Prices are reasonable. Completion is swift and well communicated
