If you only drive for a few weeks of the year, you'll know what a pain in the backside it is to get motor insurance cover.
Buying a year-long policy is such a waste of money, but now it's possible to get cover for just as long as you want it.
Because Norwich Union has launched Short Term Car Insurance, a policy that does exactly what it says on the tin - covers you for the short term.
Ideal for students who only use the car when they come back during the holidays, or for people working abroad who need a pair of wheels when they pop back to Blighty for Christmas, Norwich Union's latest car insurance offering allows up to 28 days of usage every year.
Tom Clinton, a British engineer working in the Caribbean, welcomed the scheme, saying, "I'm only back at home for a couple of weeks every year and I always want to borrow my dad's car to catch up with mates, so a motor insurance policy like this would be ideal."
A spokesman from Hoot Car Insurance Services, the young driver car insurance experts, also commented, saying, "I know a lot of students will benefit from a policy such as this."
