Temporary Car Insurance
Need temporary insurance to drive a car for an hour, a day, a week or a month?
Temporary Car Insurance – right here, right now!
With extensive experience in vehicle insurance, Grove & Dean Private Clients brings trusted expertise to temporary and short-term insurance cover. We've partnered with GoShorty, a leading provider helping thousands of UK motorists each week secure flexible, great-value short-term insurance.
Temporary car insurance is ideal when you need to borrow a car for a few hours, days or weeks – whether it’s for a test drive, using a friend or family member’s car, or driving a larger vehicle to move people or belongings. GoShorty's cover is fully comprehensive and available for roadworthy vehicles valued between £1 and £65,000 (eligibility criteria apply). Policies can be arranged to suit your timeframe – from just 1 hour up to 28 days.
Hiring a vehicle and arranging standard insurance can be costly and time-consuming. Short-term insurance offers a faster, more affordable alternative – perfect for emergencies, one-off journeys, or quick 24-hour cover.
Our partner, GoShorty, is one of the UK’s top names in short-term car insurance. Whether you need extra cover for a house move or to add a second driver at short notice, Grove & Dean’s partnership with GoShorty means you can get insured in minutes. It’s a flexible solution for drivers who want reliable car insurance without the commitment of a full annual policy.
