Short Term Car Insurance For a Last
Minute Holiday As another less than
thrilling weekend rolled around (we booked it through
over-sixties holiday specialists oversixties.co.uk) , some of my friends had
the idea to head to Manchester for a couple of days.
Normally, I would excited to get behind such a fun
activity, but they were proposing to take my car while I
stayed behind to work. I balked at the idea of risking
it among busy motorway traffic and horrendous city
parking, and the driving of my notoriously silly
friends. That's when a friend suggested they all chip in
to purchase short term car insurance for the weekend. I
had no idea there was such an option!
I did a little research to find that car insurance can
be purchased for as little as 24 hours, and all done
quickly and simply online. There seemed to be few
drawbacks, and with that reassurance I was happy to lend
the car to my friends for the weekend on one
condition--that they bring me back a souvenir. I organized the
short term car insurance online, and was pleasantly
surprised at how quickly the whole process went. Since
the main driver had a UK license and a decent, although
not perfect, track record, it was inexpensive and easy
for me to understand. My friend used his credit card to
pay for the insurance online, and we printed out all the
relevant documents. I had read it was important to print
out all the documents as proof of the short term car
insurance. So, I kept a copy with me at home, and they
took a copy with them in the car to Manchester just in
case they needed to show it to anyone.
Rather than biting my nails as they drove off for the
weekend, I was able to relax with a glass of wine
knowing that the car was fully insured should there be
any accident. Plus, I knew that I wasn't liable for any
accidents on the road or even parked. Although I
consider them to be my best friends, I know there are
stories of neighbors and even family members suing one
another when an accident is involved. Short term car
insurance eliminated any of these worries, and the only
thing I was angry about when they returned? Well, my
Manchester United souvenir shirt was the wrong size.
