What is cheap monthly car insurance?

Monthly car insurance can be a cheap option when looking for car insurance on a more flexible basis. For a lot of drivers, the long-term commitment of 12 month insurance is too much and doesn’t fit hundreds of situations we find ourselves in.

With cheap monthly insurance, you get the ease and flexibility of choosing the cover you need for the time you want. Whether you’re borrowing a vehicle, sharing the drive on holiday, or just driving for a set period, monthly car insurance can be the more cost-effective option.

You only pay for the duration you want with no long-term contacts or renewals. Just choose how long you’ll be driving for, up to 1 month and get the cover you need fast.

When might I need cheap monthly insurance?

There are many situations where cheap one month car insurance could be the most cost-effective option. If you’re not driving every day or using that car long-term, it could be cheaper than paying for traditional annual insurance.

Here are just some of the times you might need a simple, straightforward monthly policy:

  • Borrowing a car – Whether your car is in for repairs, you’re waiting for a new car, or you just need a different vehicle, cheap 1 month insurance will give you cover you legally need to borrow the car without affecting the owners existing policy or No Claims Discount.
  • Sharing driving duty – If you’re planning a UK staycation, you may want to share the drive on your holiday. Do it quickly and easily with one month insurance and get complete peace of mind when it’s your turn behind the wheel.
  • Your child is home from University – When your child comes home from University, they probably won’t want to be stuck taking the bus. Get a monthly insurance policy for just the time they’re back and let them use your car without it causing your annual premiums to rise.
  • Visitors staying with you – Similarly, if you have a friend or family member visiting you for an extended period, you can safely insure them for the duration of their trip without them needing to pay for an expensive annual policy.
  • Buying a new car – When buying a new car, you’ll be keen to start driving straight away, but if you’re waiting to find the cheapest car insurance policy (which is reported to be between 20-26 days before the policy starts) get cheap car insurance for a month and save yourself money in the long run while still being able to use your car.

How much does monthly car insurance typically cost?

Even though monthly car insurance can be a cheaper alternative in many situations, the cost still depends on the details of the policy. This means that the overall cost will depend on several factors that are provided when getting a quote. These factors include:

  • The car’s make and model – the more expensive your car is to repair or replace, the most expensive it will be to insure.
  • The car’s age – Driving old cars can mean you miss out on important safety features and parts can be difficult and more expensive to find.
  • Vehicle modifications – Making modifications and adding car cosmetics can cause prices to rise as insurers are less likely to pay for parts and features that aren’t manufacturer standard.
  • Your driving experience – As you’d expect, new drivers with less experience are more likely to have an accident, therefore insurers will increase prices for new and young drivers.
  • Driving licence type – If you’re learning to drive, you could find monthly learner insurance to help you practice, but you will have to pay more if you only have a provisional licence,
  • Where you live – The crime rates and traffic accident statistics of where you live, and drive will increase or reduce the price of your policy. Safer areas will be cheaper than those with high crime and accident rates.
