The price shown in your quote is for the driver, vehicle and period you select. Compare the options available for the time you need, including any excess and optional extras. Temporary insurance may suit occasional use; an annual policy may be better value if you drive the vehicle regularly.
Choose enough time for the whole journey, including the return trip. Check the quoted start and end times rather than relying on a label such as ‘daily’ or ‘monthly’. If your plans change, make sure valid cover is in place before continuing to drive.
Have the vehicle registration and the driver’s details ready. Choose when you need cover, then review the price, eligibility and policy terms before buying.
Check cover for the full two-week period.
Our weekly car cover protects you, your passengers, your car as well as other people, vehicles and property.

Two-week car insurance is a temporary policy for a 14-day period stated in your documents. It may suit a visit or borrowing a car for a defined stretch. Choose your times and check that the driver, car and intended use meet the quoted conditions.
A fortnight can be useful when a few days would be too short but you do not need the full period described by monthly cover. Compare the actual quote rather than assuming that combining shorter policies will cost more.
Request the 14-day period you need and review the quoted dates. If your plans change, check further cover before the first policy expires.
Yes. As long as the driver meets the eligibility criteria and you’re happy for them to use your car, you can insure someone else to drive it for two weeks. This can be a quick, simple, and cost-effective option, especially if family or friends are visiting short term. It also helps you avoid the hassle of adding them as a named driver on your annual policy and won’t affect your no-claims discount.
When you take out 2-week car insurance with Daycover, you’ll always know exactly when your cover starts and ends. After purchase, you’ll receive a policy confirmation email with a link to all your documents, clearly showing the start date, end date, and duration of cover. We’ll also send you a reminder before your policy expires, so you’re never caught out without insurance in place.
If you’re borrowing someone else’s car, it is a legal requirement to make sure you are correctly insured.
Even if their car is insured already, that doesn’t mean that you are personally insured to drive it, and the same principle applies if you already have a car insurance policy in place – you shouldn’t assume you’re covered to drive someone else’s car.
Make sure you know what’s covered on your annual policy by reviewing your policy documents. Whilst some comprehensive annual policies can provide DOC (Drive Other Cars) cover, this is not always the norm and does often come with a few caveats.
Temporary or short-term car insurance can be a simple and often cost-effective way to get insured to drive someone else’s car for two weeks.
If you’re looking to borrow the car for a short period of time or just a one-off, temporary car insurance is comprehensive, and it won’t affect your no claims bonus which is certainly a bonus in itself!
DayCover’s published Terms of Business say temporary policies cannot be extended and do not renew automatically. If you need more time, request a new quote before the existing policy ends. A new policy is subject to acceptance; check its start time to avoid a gap.
Your annual policy may not insure you to drive another person's car. Where Driving Other Cars cover is included, it often provides third-party-only protection. Check your certificate and policy wording before relying on it.
