Temporary car insurance for 17 year olds – FAQs

Get a quoteCan 17 year olds get temporary car insurance?
Yes. With Dayinsure, 17 year olds can get short-term fully comprehensive cover, whether you hold a provisional or full licence. You'll need to meet our eligibility criteria, but we're here to help young drivers get insured when they need it.
Can I borrow my parents' car with temporary insurance?
Yes. Temporary cover is ideal if you need to borrow a parent's, family member's or friend's car. You'll have your own separate policy, so you're properly covered without affecting their existing insurance.
Will it affect my parents' No Claims Discount?
No. Your Dayinsure policy is completely separate from the car owner's insurance, so it won't affect their No Claims Discount at all.
How long can I get temporary cover for as a 17 year old?
It depends on your licence. If you're a qualified driver, you can get cover from 1 hour up to 30 days. If you're a learner driver, you can get covered for up to 5 months with our learner driver insurance.
Is temporary insurance more affordable than being added to my parents' policy?
It depends on how often you need to drive. If you're only borrowing your parents' car occasionally, temporary cover can work out cheaper than being added as a named driver to their annual policy. Being added to their insurance usually means paying extra for the whole year, even if you only drive a few times. Short-term insurance lets you pay just for the days or hours you actually need. That said, if you're driving regularly, being added to their policy might make more sense. It's worth comparing both options to see what works best for your situation.
