The 6 Reasons...

So, we have established that Temporary Car Insurance works great as a short-term solution to your insurance needs. Now, let's think about some of those short-term needs... Have you ever been in a situation where you've needed to borrow someone's car? Or someone's needed to borrow yours? Here are a list of scenarios whereby either of those situations could arise this Christmas:

1. Someone had a little bit too much to drink and someone else will need to drive home.
2. You need to pick up your aunt from the airport, however you've got the Turkey in the oven - someone else will need to go so you can carry on cooking.
3. Your brother's car won't start and he needs to pick his girlfriend up form work on Christmas Eve. If he doesn't, she'll be spending Christmas at work. He'll need to borrow your car to avoid him getting in trouble.
4. The designated driver is feeling unwell on Christmas evening (it's that time of year, the 'common cold' is about), you need to get home but no-one else is insured on the car.
5. Someone in your family has just got their provisional licence. They've been bugging you to take them out practising in the car and you finally give in, because it's Christmas.
6. A relative is staying over for a few days. They haven't got their car and need to get from A to B. Instead of hiring a car, you let them borrow yours.

Do any of these scenarios sound familiar? At least one of them has happened to the majority of us. Don't get caught out this Christmas. Your options aren't as limited as you think. Be sure to check out our Temporary Car Insurance page for further information and online quotes.

After all, you never know when someone might need to borrow your car at the last minute!
