What is short-term car insurance?
Short-term car insurance offers you temporary cover to drive a car. This gives you the freedom to go on a planned road-trip, attend events across the UK, and even borrow your friend’s car at the last moment.
Even if the vehicle is insured in someone else’s name or you don’t actually own the vehicle, we can still provide comprehensive insurance over short periods.

Company Car NCB
Company Car No Claims Bonus
Many insurers are unwilling to accept bonuses earned in company cars on private car policies, which can leave drivers unfairly paying over the odds for insurance, despite their many years of claim-free driving.
At Adrian Flux, we work with insurance companies that accept company car no claims bonus to help you get a fair deal on your private car insurance.
Once we receive confirmation from your employer or ex-employer of how many years company car insurance no claims bonus you earned, we can apply an equivalent discount to the insurance quote for your own car.
Excess Protect
Excess Protect
Even though having the right insurance can save you money when you need to claim, your policy excess could still run into hundreds of pounds.
Our excess protect policies will pay your excess for you, up to an annual limit, if you need to make a claim on your policy – saving you money.
The amount of excess you have to pay depends on your policy and can be found on your policy documents. If you opted for a voluntary excess this is an extra amount on top of your compulsory excess, which can bring your premiums down, but is payable on top of your compulsory excess when you make a claim.
We offer excess protect cover at different levels to suit your policy. Speak to a member of our team to find out more and to add it to your policy.
