However you will still need to be covered if you plan to drive while you’re back in the UK. This is where temporary car insurance for non-UK residents is ideal.

What types of cover are available?
The main types of cover you can get are:
- Third party only – Third party only insurance will give you enough cover to drive your car legally in the UK for the duration of your policy. It’s the cheapest option but won’t provide any real protection for your vehicle, only other road users.
- Third party, fire and theft – This is the same as above but provides cover for fire damage and theft of your car.
- Fully comprehensive – A fully comprehensive policy will cover your vehicle for own-fault accidents as well as fire and theft in most cases.
- Breakdown assistance – Breakdown assistance is always a useful type of additional cover to have and most insurance providers will offer this.
