Monthly Car Insurance Policies

Posted in Uncategorized on July 2nd, 2010 by Jim – Comments Off

It is possible to pay for a one-month car insurance policy that can be extended or renewed one month at a time. While this can be very convenient, this type of policy is also quite a bit more expensive than a regular long-term insurance policy. There are also certain guidelines and stipulations in place that must be adhered to in order to qualify for this type of policy. Another name for this type of policy is temporary car insurance.

A typical situation where you may need insurance for only one month could be if you were visiting from abroad and you’re going to be driving a vehicle while visiting. Every vehicle must be insured, no matter how long you’re going to be driving it. Another example where temporary insurance may be needed is a situation where someone only drives for a few weeks out of the year. As these policies are usually quite expensive when compared to the normal insurance policy you may want to compare to see at which point it would become more cost effective to buy a full length one year policy.

The reason the short term car insurance policies are much more expensive than a regular policy is because you are paying fees and taxes month by month for each sale. Depending on how long or how many of these policies you take out you may find that you’re ending up paying hundreds of dollars. Even though a regular policy may seem to be more expensive initially, if you were to multiply how much you’re paying on a monthly basis and compare it to what you would pay for a full-length policy you would soon see that you pay much more when you buy a short-term insurance.

Next time you are faced with the possibility of having to buy one month insurance look over the figures very carefully. Before you actually buy the short-term insurance ensure that it really is cheaper to do so.
