Few days fully comp?

My car goes in for repair next week.

I need to use my gf car for 2 consecutive days

I want to be added to her insurance which I initially guessed would be £50-60? She says there's also an admin charge on her insurers of £30-something

That's too expensive. Rather than drive hers uninsured, is there a cheaper way round it? Could I temporarily add her car to my policy? Online quotes for fresh insurance only appear to be for annual premiums?

Any help is great

    Google short term car insurance... it may be cheaper.

    My insurance lets you do stuff online in which case they do not charge an admin fee, does hers not have that option?

    Does your policy not cover you to drive other vehicles?
    Understeer is when you hit a wall with the front of your car
    Oversteer is when you hit a wall with the back of your car
    Horsepower is how fast your car hits the wall
    Torque is how far your car sends the wall across the field once you've hit it
