Temporary student driver insurance

Car insurance is a legal requirement to drive, and in the very least you need to be named on the policy for the car that you’re driving. But you can sometimes find that getting named on a policy is an expensive option, especially if you only want to drive a car for a few weeks.

Student temporary car insurance, or short-term car insurance, will cover you to drive a vehicle for a short period of time while you’re home for the holidays. Marmalade’s policies offer cover from 7 to 28 days, dependent on your requirements, so you can take out cover for the length of time that you need it.

If you’re heading home from university for Christmas, you’ll want the freedom to get from A to B so you can catch up with friends and enjoy the Christmas festivities without your parents’ assistance.

However, it can be expensive to get added as a named driver temporarily if you want to borrow your friends’ or parents’ car, and you may find it’s a cheaper option to take out your own temporary student car insurance policy for a few weeks.

The best part is, if you need to make a claim it won’t affect their No Claims Bonus. Marmalade’s temporary car insurance policies for students can be arranged in just a few minutes, helping you to get the right cover when you need it.

Temporary car insurance, or short-term car insurance, is a policy that will cover you to drive a vehicle for a short period of time – usually from one hour to thirty days, although some insurers can extend beyond this.

As an example, you may need short-term car insurance if you borrow a friend’s car to move house because yours isn’t big enough. Even if you have your own car and insurance policy in place, you will usually find that this policy will not cover you to drive other vehicles, so you will need some form of temporary car insurance in place. Alternatively, your friend could opt to add you as a named driver to their policy – however, this may not be the cheapest option and any accidents that occur while you’re driving could affect their No Claims Bonus at renewal.
