What is Hourly Car Insurance?

Hourly car insurance is an affordable way to get short term cover when you only need to drive a car for short periods. Car insurance by the hour allows you to secure comprehensive insurance for a car as and when you need it. It's a great easy way to borrow someone's car, share a car journey, or let someone else use your car without adding them to your annual policy.

Our hourly insurance options also include business class 1 cover. This means you will be insured to drive for work outside of your regular commute. So, next time you're driving to a meeting, taking out a one or two-hour insurance policy on your car is a great way to guarantee you have the right protection in place.

It allows you to get the cover you need for exactly how long you need it – a great way to reduce outgoing costs.

What's Covered by your Hourly Car Insurance Policy?

All our policies, except for impound insurance, offer comprehensive cover. Be sure to check your policy documents for specific details on what your chosen temporary insurance covers.

Flexible Duration – You're covered for the exact duration you choose. For example, if you select a 24-hour car insurance policy, you'll be insured for that period. If you need more time, you can easily buy a new policy for however long you need using Your TempSure account in as quick as 30 seconds. Very convenient!

Third-Party Damage – You'll be covered if you cause damage to another vehicle or property while driving.

Damage – Your insured vehicle will be protected against accidental or malicious damage.

Theft – Your car is protected in the event of theft or damage during an attempted theft.

Fire Damage – Your vehicle will be covered in the event of fire-related damage.

Driving in the EU – Some of our temporary policies cover trips to the EU, provided the journey starts and ends in the UK. Typically, this cover is third-party only when outside the UK.

Business Class 1 Insurance – You're covered for driving to meetings or for work purposes beyond your daily commute. Most annual policies only cover commuting, unless you have specifically opted for business cover.
