Car insurance needed for 3 month

I've had my renewal come through and it's a rediculous price. After looking around I can get it cheap elsewhere. However what my question is is does anywhere insure you for anything less than 12 months.

I going to live in the US from January and I will only be needing an insurance policy up until December. Can I just pay for 3 months or will I have to pay the annual price regardless which is a bit of a bummer!

Many thanks

Dave

    Most insurances can be cancelled and you get a refund of the unused part, however its not normally a straight % there could be fees .

    From direct line:-
    If you cancel after those 14 days have passed, we will return any premium less a charge for the number of days for which cover has been given and an administration fee of £26.25 (including Insurance Premium Tax where applicable) as shown in your schedule. We will not refund any premium if you have made a claim or if one has been made against you during the period of cover. Please return the certificate of motor insurance.
  • Most insurers will do short-term cover, although 3 months might be pushing it. Talk to any good broker.
