Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions?
What are the benefits of Sterling short-term car insurance?
Temporary car insurance is available for flexible durations ranging from 1 to 90 days, offering many of the advantages of a standard 12-month policy. This short-term cover can contribute towards building your No Claims Bonus and is suitable for a wide variety of vehicles, including classic cars, kit cars, custom cars, modified cars, and grey imports. It’s available to drivers aged 21 and over, covering all insurance groups. Learner drivers also have the option to upgrade to a full annual policy once they’ve passed their test. If you’re planning to drive abroad, we can arrange cover – just speak to one of our team members. We even provide temporary insurance for left-hand drive vehicles.
Why would I need to take a short term motor insurance policy?
There are several reasons why you might need temporary car insurance. You could be selling your car and require short-term cover in the meantime, or you might be a learner driver looking for flexible insurance until you obtain your full driving licence – after which you can upgrade to an annual policy. Temporary insurance is also ideal if you’re moving abroad and need a vehicle for a short period, sharing the driving on a long journey, or insuring a cherished car that you only drive during the summer months. Additionally, it’s a convenient solution if you’re working away from home and need temporary insurance for the duration.
What does Sterling’s short term cover include?
Sterling short-term insurance comes with a variety of optional extras to enhance your cover. These include protection for driving in Europe and beyond, breakdown cover for added peace of mind, keycare services in case you lose or damage your keys, misfuelling cover to protect against costly mistakes at the pump, and windscreen cover to handle unexpected chips or cracks.
