Most car insurance policies are still sold for twelve months. However to cater for differing needs amongst drivers, tempcover is now available, providing cover for six months, 28 days or even 24 hours.
A widely accepted definition of temporary auto insurance is short term insurance lasting from a minimum of one day to one month. However, there are now a number of insurance providers who offer flexible cover for between one to six months.
To add to this, the popularity of pay as you go cover is available. This gives the option to switch insurance on and off for periods when they know it will not be required.
