Answer: Potentially. This is a common short-term need when you borrow a friend or relative’s car during repairs.
Check your own annual policy first because any driving-other-cars cover may be limited or third-party only.
For a privately borrowed car, get the owner’s permission and check whether your intended use, including commuting, is allowed.
A garage-owned loan car should normally use the garage’s own approved insurance arrangement.

BriefCover.co.uk does not recommend a particular policy. Check the insurer's eligibility rules, permitted use, exclusions and excess before buying.
