Sometimes you only need car insurance to cover a specific use. Maybe you only need a car insured for a trip to and from an airport to pick up friends or family before the vehicle goes back into storage. Maybe you require an additional person insured on your car just for a road trip so you can share the driving – meaning you can get some extra shut-eye in the passenger seat. We can even provide temporary car insurance for new drivers, or short-term learner insurance to cover a driver for a brief period while they are still learning to drive their car out on the roads.
No matter the reason, if you need temporary car insurance then Brightside can help you with a short-term car insurance policy.

Not at all – the car insurance coverage available to you remains the same even on a short-term basis. With our temporary car insurance brokering service, you can get any of the three levels of coverage, plus any additional insurance add-ons like short-term breakdown cover, exactly the same as you would do when taking out a regular car insurance policy through us. Whether you require Third Party Only cover, Third Party, Fire and Theft (TPFT) cover or a full Comprehensive car insurance policy on a temporary basis, we can provide it for you, from 24 hours to 28 days coverage.
For more information on TPFT insurance and the extent of its coverage, please see our ‘What Does Third Party, Fire and Theft Car Insurance Cover?’ article.

Just like with a regular long-term car insurance policy, you can add on as much or as little additional coverage to your bespoke temporary car insurance policy as you wish. Extra features that you can take advantage of through Brightside include:
At Brightside, we understand that having your car taken off the road can be very frustrating, especially if you’re only driving it temporarily. Having the right temporary breakdown cover in place is very important and our Breakdown Cover, provided by RAC, is designed to fit multiple needs and budgets with many different options available, even on a temporary car insurance policy. With the RAC fixing on average one car every 19 seconds, you couldn't be in better hands should the car you’re driving get stuck at the roadside.
Excess Protection lets you claim back the money you will have to pay out in the event of a claim. This means that you could increase you voluntary excess and get the benefit of a cheaper quote and still have the cost of the excess amount covered in the event of a claim (subject to any claim limits). Excess Protection can also be applied to any insurance policy that carries an excess.
Even if you’re driving a car on a temporary basis, you won’t get very far without the keys. Keys can easily be misplaced and lost, but, fortunately, we can provide Key Cover for temporary car insurance policies. Our Key Cover will reimburse you for any assistance you get from a qualified locksmith in the event of your car keys being lost, including cutting new keys.
