Home › Trips and emergencies › Can I Use Temporary Insurance if the Garage Has Not Given Me a Courtesy Car?
Answer: You may be able to insure yourself on a private car borrowed from a friend or relative instead.
Do not try to insure a garage-owned vehicle as though it belonged to a friend.
If you are borrowing privately, confirm permission and make sure the policy allows the journeys you need, such as commuting.
Vehicle ownership can determine which insurance route is appropriate.
