Covertime has launched in the UK, entering the growing short-term insurance sector, now adopted by around 15% of British motorists. As drivers increasingly seek flexible and affordable alternatives to annual car insurance, Covertime aims to make temporary cover faster and easier than ever before.
From borrowing a car to managing a last-minute driving need, Covertime makes getting insured quick and straightforward. The company’s online and mobile platforms offer temporary insurance for cars, vans, and learner drivers, all designed with speed and convenience at their core.
Built with modern motorists in mind, Covertime delivers a clean, intuitive interface and instant access to quotes, payments, and documentation. With just a few clicks, users can be fully insured, receiving digital confirmation directly to their inbox or app.
“Consumer needs are shifting. The traditional annual car insurance policy doesn’t work for everyone and temporary insurance is helping to fill that gap,” said Alan Inskip, CEO and Co-Founder of Covertime.
“At Covertime, we’re combining years of industry experience with the latest technology to deliver a smarter, more flexible option, whether you need cover for a few hours or a few weeks.”
Having helped to establish the short-term insurance market back in 2006, Covertime’s leadership team brings deep expertise and renewed innovation to the space. Their platform reflects how modern drivers live and travel—prioritising flexibility, transparency, and effortless control over their insurance.
“Some drivers are paying thousands for an annual policy, even if they barely use their car,” said Paul Salter, Co-Founder and Chief Underwriting Officer.
“Temporary cover gives people a practical alternative, you only pay when you need to drive and you can get insured in no time.”
