All companies require you to take out a 6 month or 1 year policy. You can either pay in full, or pay monthly.

Temporary Car Insurance?

Most insurance companies offer temporary operating permits (or TOPS as they are known in the industry). They can be for 1 day to 2 weeks. More expensive than a full term 1 year policy but if you only need it for one day dont go through the hassle of taking out a long term policy, cancel it in a couple of days and pay a cancellation penalty (oh yes there will be one).

I need help finding short term insurance!!!?

You would want to use your parents address as your semi-permanent residence and apply based on that information.

United Healthcare, Anthem, Assurant and a few others all offer policies for up to six months.

One thing to consider: If you were in an accident and it kept you in the US for longer than six months – your coverage would end and you quite possibly could be uninsurable at that point.

Maybe consider buying a permanent policy and cancelling it after your time here is up.

Do you need auto insurance but just for a short period of time, then short term auto insurance policies may be the answer for your needs. There are many reasons why you may need a termporary auto insurance policy:

for example, you may want to go for a trip on vacation and you want to drive a car from someone else, so you need to have car insurance.

Maybe you are a student and when you go back home on vacation you need to have auto insurance for a few weeks, then temporary auto insurance is the right answer.

HEre is the thing, you should only get a short term auto insurance policy if you really need it, because it is cheaper to just get a regular yearly insurance policy, but if you are just going to use a car for a month then paying for one year is not worth it.

The companies that offer this kind of coverage usually do it in 2 week or 4 week periods, up to 28 days. If you need it for 2 months you wil have to renew your policy.

To keep you rates the lowes possible, you need to have a good driving record, be over 25 years old and drive safely. Tell you insurance company how many miles you plan to drive.

I bought a car last night and i need to take it in for an emissions test. I want to have insurance, so i can drive it to enforcement but i dont want any long term insurance commitment in case it doesent pass emissions.

Are there are reputable companies that will insure my car for only a week or so? Im from the US.

R:

It used to be that all car insurance companies only insure you for 6 months or 1 year period, but nowadays there are a few companies that offer short term or temporary insurance.

Short term car insurance means that you will get a insurance policy coverage for up to 1 month. It is usually valid for 2 weeks or 4 weeks period.

It is usually cheaper to get a yearly regular auto insurance policy, but if you just need it for less than one month, then temporary car insurance may be good for you.

You need to ask your insurance company for this kind of insurance policy, however if you want to check it out online and get quotes, is very easy just enter your zip code in the box above this page and you are ready to go.
