Weekly car insurance extensions are available on a like-for-like basis and are subject to acceptance from the underwriter. Apply using the extend button displayed on your Dayinsure Customer Account dashboard or by clicking the manage policy and view documents button in your confirmation email, confirm your details and click Extend policy.
The terms and conditions of your policy will stay the same – only the end date will change. We’ll send you a revised certificate and schedule once you’ve completed the extension process.
If you still need cover after making an extension or are unable to make an extension for some reason, you can simply apply for a new 1-week car insurance policy instead.
No, you don’t need to be the registered keeper or owner of the car you’re insuring. But bear in mind that if you’re taking out 1-week car insurance on someone else’s car, you’ll need to have their permission.
