Weekend Car Insurance
Friday evening to Sunday night, insured in the time it takes to make a coffee.
Weekends generate most short-term insurance: borrowing a parent’s car to visit home, sharing the driving to a wedding, a two-day trip in a friend’s car, or collecting furniture in a borrowed van. A 2- or 3-day policy covers exactly the window — start time Friday, expiry Sunday night — with nothing to cancel afterwards.
The policy is standalone, so the owner’s annual insurance and no-claims bonus are untouched whatever happens. Enter the registration, pick your days and cover level, pay by card, and the certificate is emailed within minutes — done before you’ve packed.

Is a weekend policy cheaper than two separate days?
Pricing scales with duration, so a single 2- or 3-day policy is the straightforward way to cover a weekend — one quote, one certificate, one expiry. The quote shows your exact price before you pay.
Can I start cover on Friday evening?
Yes — you choose the exact start date and time at purchase. Documents arrive by email within minutes, so even a last-minute Friday plan works.
What cover levels are available?
Comprehensive or third-party — you choose in the quote. Either way the policy is separate from the car owner's insurance, so their no-claims bonus is never exposed.
