Day insurance

Empty_pockets

Considering borrowing a friends car rather than renting.

Don't have my own car insurance so can't use that.

Can anyone recommend a cheap insurer for 24hr cover?

Thanks

Google "Day Insurance"

There's Compare the Market listed on the Google search which searches for the cheapest day insurance.

Thanks, tried Google first.


Wondered if anyone on this massive site has experience of certain companies or knows of any special offers/deals available.

Thanks anyway.

Ask your friend to call his own insurers and see how much it will be to add you as a named driver. I had the same situation a couple of years ago, my friend wanted to borrow my car. Cost me £10 to add him as a named driver for a week. Obviously it will depend on your "risk" as perceived by the insurance company, but it can be a cheap ( and completely legit ! ) way of doing it.

This can be fine, but if there is a claim then the friend who's car it is will lose NCB and or pay higher premiums in the future so I would still consider the day insurance.
