Whether you’re borrowing your friend’s car or taking your new car for a drive after you’ve picked it up from the dealership.
Let’s break down what you typically get with hourly car insurance:
1. All-round vehicle protection: This is the bread and butter of your cover. It’s there if your car gets damaged or vandalised. Doesn’t matter if it’s your car, your friend’s, or a rental – if something goes wrong during your insured time to the insured car, you may be covered.
2. Theft and fire cover: Nobody likes to think about their car getting stolen or suffering from fire damage, but it happens. Hourly insurance may have your back here too. It can be a weight off your mind, especially if you’re borrowing someone else’s car.
3. Third-party liability: If you accidentally bump into someone or something this cover steps in. It handles the legal processes and may even help to cover potential payouts within your insurance cover.
4. Business use (Class 1): Need to pop to a work meeting? Some hourly policies cover work-related driving too. It’s handy for keeping your personal and work insurance separate without any fuss.
5. Basic EU cover (just third-party): Planning a trip across the Channel? Some of our hourly policies include basic EU cover. While not comprehensive, it ensures legal compliance when driving on the continent depending on the level of cover you take out.
6. Flexibility and ease: Here’s where hourly insurance really shines. Need cover in a jiffy? No problem. It’s can be great for those “Oh, shoot!” moments when plans suddenly change.
It’s flexible and it’s tailored to fit your life. No long-term commitments, no fuss – just straightforward cover when you need it. It’s insurance that fits into your life, not the other way around.

An hourly car insurance policy is like having a trusty sidekick ready to jump in when you need it for short trips, or that event you need to go to on the weekend that you completely forgot about!
Here’s why this flexible option may be a good option for you:
Pay only for what you need: Why pay for a full day when you only need an hour? It’s like ordering a single slice instead of the whole pizza.
Easy setup: It’s all online and can be managed through your account on our website.
Doesn’t interrupt existing policies: Keep your existing insurance untouched. Hourly coverage is like a separate adventure that doesn’t affect your main plan. For example, if you need to get to a concert on the weekend and don’t have your own car, you can take out a temporary car insurance policy through us, here at Jaunt, and your parent’s main policy won’t be affected!
In a nutshell, hourly car insurance is all about flexibility and freedom, letting you hit the road without needing to commit to an annual policy agreement.
Hourly car insurance may come in handy for those “oops” moments when you need quick cover, whether you’re nipping out in someone else’s car, taking a spontaneous road trip with your friends, or helping out with a family member who may not be able to drive themselves.
Picture this: You’re in a new city, need to drive a rental for a few hours, or borrowing a friend’s car, but don’t fancy paying for a full day’s insurance.
It might also be able to provide cover for bridging those gaps between policies, for example, if your previous annual policy has come to an end but you still need to drive your car to work tomorrow before pay-day; you can take out a temporary car insurance policy to cover you until you’re able to take out a year-long car insurance policy.
