Car insurance can be pretty costly. Especially if you only want coverage for a limited amount of time, or do not know how long you want it for yet, it would be a large expense to sign up for a year long insurance contract. Even a six month contract might be over and above what you’re looking for. Perhaps you’re only in the country for a few weeks. You’re using your parents car, but their insurance doesn’t cover you. A weekend trip or test drives on cars, borrowing a car… all these situations might bring you to the conclusion that it’s best to pay monthly car insurance over a long term contract.
Most short term car insurance policies go by the month, or actually just under a month. You have 28 days of coverage. They give you a warning shortly before the expiry of the policy, and then you have the choice to either extend or cancel. There are a small number of companies that offer insurance by the week or even the day. These rates will unquestionably be higher than if you signed up for a month, but it may be worthwhile if you know you won’t keep extending the policy term. Receiving “monthly” car insurance quotes should be a painless process. Either on the company website, or with a short call to the company office, you should be able to receive a quick estimated quote. When you complete the details of signing up for the policy, the quote will be adjusted according to age, car model, age of model, where you live, and driving record. Just like any other car insurance.
Average monthly car insurance rates will vary greatly according to the state you live in and the state’s mandated liability insurance. You can expect to pay anywhere from $150 to $200 or more for a temporary policy. Month car insurance for young drivers or on expensive cars will be more expensive. Opting for more comprehensive coverage will up the rate, as well. Older cars, experienced drivers, and clean driving histories may pull the rate down a little.
Do remember that if you want coverage for more than a one month period, it may be worth your money to sign up for a year’s contract and then cancel the policy when you no longer need it. This offers the convenience of not having to renew your policy each month. Even more significantly, however, it is usually cheaper this way. Companies that specialize in short term insurance make you pay for the special program.
