A temporary car insurance policy for students allows you to be covered to drive another vehicle from 1 hour up to 30 days.

Once you have obtained the vehicle owners permission you will need to answer a few questions about you, your driving history, the vehicle that you want to insure and how long you want cover for. Once you have provided this information and providing you meet the eligibility criteria you will be given a quote. If you accept and pay, your insurance will begin from the start date and time you specified. It really is as simple as that.

If you only need insurance for a few days to borrow a parent or friend’s car, why should you pay for a rigid annual insurance policy? Maybe you’re moving to university and you need a car to transport your stuff, or perhaps you’re going away with friends and want to share the driving. The opportunities are literally endless.

A temporary car insurance policy allows you to be covered to drive another vehicle from 1 hour up to 30 days.

If you still need to drive the car after this period, all you need to do is simply take out another short-term car insurance policy with Jaunt. It’s as simple as that.

You must be aged between 18-75. You must also hold a full, valid UK driving licence (issued in England, Wales or Scotland) and have done so for at least 6 months, or 3 months if you’re over 25.
