Temp Car Insurance

Need temp car insurance for a day or two! Checked on tempcover.com and it was £30 per day for a -£20k car, 10+ year license etc. Any recommendations of somewhere cheaper or a temp car insurance comparison site?

    That actually strikes me as quite cheap!

    Wasn't too long ago you could get day insurance for around a tenner a day.

    Just google "day insurance". As above, most used to do a flat charge of around £10 per day but they now seem to want quote per individual and therefore it'll depend on your personal circumstance and therefore £30 per day may not be that bad.

    I was paying £24/month an a Nissan Note that I still haven't shifted yet.  Have you tried your own insurer?
