BrieflyCover offers quick and flexible short-term car insurance valid from just 1 hour up to 28 days. Prices start at £7.30 for an hour and £9.30 for a full day. Their policies are comprehensive, covering both your own car and others’ vehicles, and you can buy and be on the road in minutes.

As an independent reviewer, I appreciate BrieflyCover’s clear eligibility requirements. You’ll need a full UK licence, be aged 26–78, and the car must be UK-registered and MOT-compliant. Drivers with claims or points can often be considered, making this provider more inclusive.

Pros of BrieflyCover

One major advantage is flexibility: you can insure for as little as an hour. The process is fast and user-friendly, with digital delivery of documents. Comprehensive cover is included as standard, even for EU travel.

The provider is inclusive, allowing some penalty points and previous claims. The cost is competitive for such short durations and there’s no lengthy annual commitment required.

Cons of BrieflyCover

Coverage is limited to drivers aged 26–78, so younger drivers are excluded. There’s also a £500 excess as standard, which might be higher for some vehicles.

Business use is not covered, and not all cars (e.g., left-hand drive, hire vehicles) are eligible. The product is not available in Northern Ireland.

Verdict: BrieflyCover for Temporary Needs

BrieflyCover is excellent for UK motorists needing quick, temporary car insurance. The flexible terms, instant process, and fair pricing make it an ideal solution for emergencies, test drives, or short trips.

Overall, if you qualify, the experience is smooth and the value is hard to match for temporary cover.
