Are you looking for an easy way to get car insurance for a weekend? If so, then Dayinsure’s affordable weekend car insurance is the perfect solution and we can have you covered in next to no time. To get a quote, all you need is:
Car insurance for a weekend is a type of short-term insurance that covers you to drive a vehicle for a few days. You can drive a car for the whole weekend, knowing that you’re fully covered.
Weekend car insurance is ideal for getting behind the wheel of your own car or for borrowing another vehicle. It’s a great way to insure a car for a weekend away.
With our flexible weekend cover, you can relax safe in the knowledge that you’re fully insured. Plus, your policy can be arranged in just 15 minutes, leaving you free to get on the road no matter what your last-minute plans are.
There are a few situations where weekend car insurance might be the ideal solution:
Whatever your reason for needing weekend car insurance, Dayinsure can help. Whether you need last-minute cover or you’re planning a weekend break in the next few weeks or months, you could get a quote in 15 minutes.
There are many reasons why you might prefer to insure a car for a weekend rather than take out an annual policy. Naturally, annual policies typically work out cheaper over 12 months. But if you only need to drive a vehicle for a weekend, short-term cover is usually the more cost-effective option.
If you need cover at short notice, our weekend car insurance policies can provide a flexible option and can have you covered in under 15 minutes. There’s no need to run the risk of illegally driving uninsured.
Another reason for taking out weekend car insurance is to ensure you’ve got fully comprehensive cover for the time you need it. Despite the misconceptions, many annual policies don’t cover you to drive another vehicle. And, if they do, you’re likely to only be covered for damage to a third party.
But, as our cover is a whole separate policy, you’ll be properly insured on your chosen vehicle for the entire weekend. And it means you won’t have the hassle and expense of amending any current policy. What’s more, any other car insurance policies you do have won’t be affected when you take out weekend cover with Dayinsure.
