Home › Family and friends › Can I Get Temporary Insurance on a Friend’s Car While They Are Abroad?
Answer: Potentially. The owner being overseas does not automatically prevent temporary cover.
You still need the owner’s permission and the details needed to insure the correct vehicle.
Some temporary products require the borrowed car to remain insured under another policy as well.
Check the provider’s borrowed-car rules rather than assuming the owner’s absence makes no difference.
Check short-term car insurance options
BriefCover.co.uk does not recommend a particular policy. Check the insurer's eligibility rules, permitted use, exclusions and excess before buying.
