Short-term cover for students
Higher education already comes with its fair share of costs, so adding expensive car insurance to the list is something no student driver wants to do.
Most students are likely to be new to driving. They might not drive as often as others as many don’t take their car to university.
This means they miss out on the crucial experience that inspires confidence behind the wheel.
As new drivers are statistically more likely to have an accident and make a claim, this inexperience causes car insurance prices to rise.
You can reduce the cost of driving while at university or home for the holidays by only paying for cover you need with temporary student car insurance.
Is car insurance more expensive for students?
Yes, generally students will be less experienced and younger drivers, meaning they’ll be hit with higher-than-average premiums.

If you only need to use the car every now and then, or a few weeks a year, you could get a much cheaper deal by opting for short-term car cover.

As most students won’t need to use a car all year round, temporary car insurance can sometimes work out cheaper than an annual policy.
