evidence: Unlike regular car insurance, which usually lasts for a year at a time, Tempcover (as the name suggests) offers short-term insurance from an hour to 28 days. It's not really designed for a car you own; rather for if you're borrowing a car from a friend, or taking a prospective purchase for a test drive, for example. [...] Tempcover works with a panel of seven car insurers that underwrite its temporary car insurance. These insurers include Haven Insurance, Mulsanne, Granite Underwriting, Southern Rock, Eridge Underwriting, Ageas and KGM. Tempcover Ltd is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
