It is easy to insure, but very expensive. I insured the same driver for two weeks last December and paid £80 and I thought that was expensive but for one week it was £76! and this was with an alleged 30% discount. Won't use again.

I NEEDED TO BORROW A VEHICLE TEMPORARILY AND BORROWED ONE FROM A FRIENDS HIRE COMPANY. AFTER THOROUGHLY READING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT STATED AT NO POINT THEY DID NOT COVER HIRE VEHICLES I PROCEDDED TO PAY £219 FOR 28 DAYS COVER. WHEN GOING TO COLLECT THE VEHICLE I FOUND OUT THAT THEY DO NOT COVER HIRE CARS AND PROCEEDED TO CALL TEMPCOVER.COM. THEY WERE ADIMENT THE T&C'S STATED THIS (WHICH THEY DID NOT) AND SAID I WOULD NOT RECIEVE A REFUND HOWEVER IF WE HAD ANOTHER CAR WE COULD BORROW FROM A FRIEND PROVIDING NO MONEY WAS EXCHANGED TO BORROW IT I COULD PAY TO TAKE OUT ANOTHER COVER AND THEY MAY CONSIDER REFUNDING THE ORIGINAL POLICY!!!! BUT IT IS NOT 100% THAT I WOULD GET A REFUND. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS AND I AGREE WITH THE OTHER COMMENTS IT MUST BE STAFF WRITING THE GOOD REVIEWS AS OUT OF MY FRIENDS THAT I HAVE LATER DISCOVERED HAVE USED THEM, NOT ONE HAS A GOOD WORD TO SAY ABOUT THEM

I required short cover to take a Mercedes to a repairer and this was about as easy as it gets. Simply found them online, filled in the details and bingo, three quotes to choose from, payment and a insurance Policy Document emailed to me straight away. What could be simpler ? As for expensive - £30 to have it covered and legal. A small price to pay and compare that with the 50 minutes I spent patiently going through details with a well-known insurer only to be told they couldn't then do it. Definitely like this service and highly recommend it.

They try and force you through a higher provider. All good reviews are written by employees pretty obvious.

Tempcover is the most atrocious company you will ever deal with absolutely no idea on customer service their helplines on the phone always want to turn you away as it seems they do not want to do their job. I tried taking cover through them they messed me about for 3 days as my payment would not go through, i checked with my bank if they are declining the request they said no request had been made i rang tempcover who told me to keep trying as it would eventually go through, me being me kept trying in the end frustrated i rang them back up and apparently they could not insure me because i had made too many attempts to pay LOL yet they told me to make these attempts absolutely disgusting service recommend insuredaily anyday cheapest is not always best....

I took a days cover with them, the details failed to reflect on the system and I dont have a printer at home. when i later tried to print at a friend's house there was no email with policy. However i friend told me that infor would be on the MID. to my shock i was stopped by the police and my car impounded. Their excuse was that i was suppose to print (not all of us have printers), also they did not email me the docs. The following day as i called their office even their colleagues could not find my details nor an email that was supposed to be sent to me. she finally did after 10min on the phone and she emailed them at 8.10am. To my suprise they did not see their wrong they kept saying i should take the matter with the police. I insured again with them ( i guess i dont learn) again information not reflecting on the MID ,i took a day insurance however they are telling me it will reflect on the MID after 24hrs how is this sensible at all???? my day's cover is supposed to be over then. they stil say print your documents. not everybody has a printer at home, who is responsible for updating the MID....can someone please do their jobs. I wont recommend tempcover, however if you want headache please use them. Insure daily is what I use now.

I found that compared with other sites tempcover prices were really competitive. I don't usually write reviews but I was really impressed with the customer service I received from these guys, nothing was too much trouble and I would definitely recommend them to others.

This is the best service I've received when getting insurance online. The quote process was quick and simple and my policy was emailed to me within minutes! I will definitely be using tempcover in the future.

Temp cover are by far one of the most appauling businesses, over priced rubbish website and rubbish service. Stay away and note these reviews are probably writted by their staff, people only really write reviews to complain! especially students.

I was able to get insured on my dads car so I could practice before my driving test and he was happy as it meant it didn't effect his no claims bonus should I have had an accident!
written by on 12/04/2011
somehow i think all these reviews are written by someone in tempcover.com
The service war horrific
The price quote is over priced (seriously, if you like me are a student, i suggest you look elsewhere for a quote as i found i got much cheaper deals with other providers)
The claims process is a joke, their agents have no idea what their talking about and try their best to make sure a penny isn't paid out, the underwriters are a joke.
If i could i wouldn't even give them 1 star, all i can say is stay far away from Tempcover and ecar insurance for temporary cover. Don't take my word for it if you don't want to, simply use them and find out how bad they really are for yourself.

Great product and really good customer service!

The site was really easy to use and I got my policy in just a few minutes.
It was also cheaper than being added as a named driver on my mates insurance and meant that it wouldnt effect his no claims bonus if I had of had an accident.

I needed to insure myself on my friends car for a weekend so that I could move house. I found the Tempcover.com website really easy to use and it only took a couple of minutes to get a quote and take out a policy. I could even print out the policy on my own printer. I would certainly recommend them to anyone who needs insurance quickly
