Compare one-month car insurance

Should you get short-term insurance to drive for one month?

A short-term car insurance policy may be suitable if you only need to use your car for one month or less.

Most short-term car insurance policies can cover you for less than 30 days, but it’s not always the cheapest way to insure your car.

Getting cheaper short-term car insurance

To find out which insurance will suit you best you should get quotes for both short-term and annual car insurance (making sure to include the cancellation fee) to work out which is cheaper.

For example:

In this example, it is £20 cheaper to take out and then cancel an annual policy.

Make sure you check the cancellation fee, as some insurers will charge up to £70 to cancel an annual policy.

Here’s how to work out if you need short term cover.

If you need a vehicle for only a few days or weeks, it will almost always be cheaper to take out a short-term car insurance policy.

Whichever option you choose, make sure you get the right level of insurance, not just the cheapest.
