Well, that’s where Marmalade’s weekly car insurance comes in. This hassle-free cover is a great alternative to being added as a named driver on the car owner’s policy for a short period of time.

Weekly short term student car insurance FAQs

Can I get weekly insurance on my own car?arrow
This short term policy is designed to help students get on the road in a parent’s or friend’s car. If you’re a student with your own set of wheels, check out our Black Box Insurance!
Why would students need weekly car insurance?arrow
This policy is to help students who have a full driving licence keep their independence when they’re back home from University or boarding school – it also means parents don’t have to be a personal taxi service when their child is home for the holidays!
Is this weekly car insurance policy valid on all cars?arrow
We'll cover most cars as long as they're under 20 years old, up to insurance group 32 and no more than £30,000 in value.
I haven’t started university yet, can I still arrange cover?arrow
Don’t worry if you’ve not started university just yet, we can still help! We’ll just need to see a copy of your offer letter and we'll get you on the road.
Will this weekly car insurance for students allow me to drive any car?arrow
This policy is short term insurance on one car only, usually that of a parent or friend. The car needs to have a main insurance policy in place - as this policy will only provide cover when the student driver is behind the wheel.
Should students us their home address for their car insurance or university address?arrow
This is a really good question. Essentially, we will need to know your home address and where the car is kept overnight. For the majority of students at uni, their home address is still likely to be with their parents. So when you’re asked you’re home address enter what you consider your home. We will then ask where the car is kept overnight – it may be the same address, or, if you are borrowing someone else’s car or keeping the car at another address during the policy term, you will need to specify that address for where it is kept overnight.
