Borrowed Car Insurance FAQs
Got questions about cover for driving someone else's vehicle? We've got the answers.
Get a quoteCan I get temporary insurance to drive someone else's car?
Yes, absolutely. Dayinsure offers short-term cover that lets you borrow someone else's car without affecting their insurance. You take out your own separate policy on the vehicle, which means you're fully insured while the owner's policy stays untouched. It's quick to arrange and starts from just 1 hour.
Will borrowing a car affect the owner's No Claims Bonus?
No, it won't. Your Dayinsure policy is completely standalone, so any claims you make are on your own policy, not the owner's. That means their No Claims Discount stays protected, and their annual insurance isn't affected at all.
What cover do I get when I borrow a car?
You'll be covered on a fully comprehensive basis. This includes damage to the borrowed vehicle, third-party cover for other people's cars and property, and personal injury protection. It gives you the same level of cover you'd expect from an annual policy, just for the time you need it.
How long can I get cover for on a borrowed car?
Dayinsure gives you flexibility to choose cover from 1 hour up to 30 days. Whether you need a borrowed car for a quick errand or a few weeks, you can pick the exact length of time that suits you and only pay for what you need.
Whose name does the policy go in when I borrow someone's car?
The policy is taken out in your name as the driver. It's completely separate from the car owner's existing insurance, so their policy and no claims bonus won't be affected. You'll get your own certificate of insurance that covers you to drive their car for the period you've chosen.
