Whatever the case, temporary cover is the ideal solution, with cover from 1-28 days available.

To protect a no-claims bonus
A main worry for any driver is the loss of their no claims discount (NCD), especially when they are lending their vehicle to another person. By taking out short term car & van insurance, you need not worry as you can use the vehicle without risking any existing NCD.
To obtain tax
Policyholders are allowed to use their certificate of motor insurance to tax their vehicle. A number of other leading short term insurance providers DO NOT give consent for this. (Subject to DVLA/Post Office acceptance)
