How much does two week car insurance cost?
Two-week car insurance is a cost-effective option if you only need to insure a car for a short period, as you’re paying for 14 days of cover rather than committing to an annual policy.
The cost of 2-week car insurance depends on a few key factors:
About you | your car | when cover starts | the 14-day duration
Our quote process is quick and straightforward. We only ask for the details needed to calculate your premium, including:
- How long you need cover for (14 days)
Duration plays a big role in price. Two-week cover costs more than a few days, but can work out better value than stacking multiple shorter policies. - The car you’re driving
The make, model, engine size, and value of the car all influence the cost of cover. - You and your driving experience
Your age, how long you’ve held your licence, and your driving history will also affect your premium.
How can you get cheap two week car insurance?
To get the cheapest 2-week car insurance, make sure you only pay for the exact 14 days you actually need.
Two-week cover lets you start your policy at the precise time you plan to begin driving and set it to end as soon as those 14 days are up. This helps you avoid paying for unused time and keeps costs down.
You can choose cover from as little as one hour all the way up to 28 days. When getting a quote, use the slider to adjust the duration and make sure you’re getting the best value for the exact amount of time you need on cover.

Whatever the situation, being able to take out temporary car insurance for two full weeks can make life simpler, giving you reliable cover for exactly the time you need, with no long-term commitment.
2 week car insurance FAQs
Can I get car insurance for two weeks?
Need car insurance for a week? It's absolutely possible.
Yes, absolutely. You can take out 2-week car insurance with Covertime for exactly 14 days, or choose any duration from one hour up to 28 days if that suits you better. You’re in control of how long you need cover for, without committing to a minute more than necessary.
Can I insure someone else to drive my car for two weeks?
Yes. As long as the driver meets the eligibility criteria and you’re happy for them to use your car, you can insure someone else to drive it for two weeks. This can be a quick, simple, and cost-effective option, especially if family or friends are visiting short term. It also helps you avoid the hassle of adding them as a named driver on your annual policy and won’t affect your no-claims discount.
How will I know when my 2-week cover expires?
When you take out 2-week car insurance with Covertime, you’ll always know exactly when your cover starts and ends. After purchase, you’ll receive a policy confirmation email with a link to all your documents, clearly showing the start date, end date, and duration of cover. We’ll also send you a reminder before your policy expires, so you’re never caught out without insurance in place.
I already have an annual policy on my own car, do I really need to get insurance to drive a different car?
If you’re borrowing someone else’s car, it is a legal requirement to make sure you are correctly insured.
Even if their car is insured already, that doesn’t mean that you are personally insured to drive it, and the same principle applies if you already have a car insurance policy in place – you shouldn’t assume you’re covered to drive someone else’s car.
Make sure you know what's covered on your annual policy by reviewing your policy documents. Whilst some comprehensive annual policies can provide DOC (Drive Other Cars) cover, this is not always the norm and does often come with a few caveats.
Temporary or short-term car insurance can be a simple and often cost-effective way to get insured to drive someone else’s car for two weeks.
If you're looking to borrow the car for a short period of time or just a one-off, temporary car insurance is comprehensive, and it won’t affect your no claims bonus which is certainly a bonus in itself!
What happens if I need to extend my cover?
At the moment our policies cannot be extended and do not renew. Don't worry though, we won't stand between you and the open road - you can purchase a new policy for another week, or just a few more hours by getting a fresh quote anytime, for however long you need it.
Did you know?
Driving other cars using an annual policy usually only insures you for Third Party claims, meaning damage to the car you are driving is not covered.
