Ingredients

• A vehicle, owned or borrowed
• The contact information of the vehicle owner
• A state drivers license
• A computer with Internet access
• This website

Step 1: Gather Your Information

To get car insurance quotes or sign a deal with an insurance provider, you will need to provide several pieces of information.

Whether you own the vehicle but haven't been using it, are borrowing from a friend, are renting it or buying, you will need to have the name and address of the owner handy. The ownership may need to be documented. There are special requirements for non-owners car insurance.

You will also need your drivers license. Insurers might require a photocopy of it, or just the numbers.

Step 2: Make a List of Possible Insurers

Many of the car insurance providers listed on our site can service you with short term car insurance. Simply select your state to see a list of reliable insurers. Use our descriptions to pick out the ones you think will work best for you. Check with them to make sure they offer short term car insurance.

Step 3: Get Car Insurance Quotes

Go to the insurers websites for car insurance quotes by clicking “Get Quote”. Entering your information should be quick and easy.

Record the rates they are offering as well as any details about the policies in a simple chart. Using spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel is perfect for this, since you can easily reorder the companies based on different properties.

Step 4: Pick the Deal that Works Best for You

Based on all the factors, especially price, pick the offer that suits your needs. Comparing car insurance quotes should make this much easier. Remember, getting the right coverage is essential—price should be your secondary concern.

Step 5: Finalize the Deal

Contact the company to arrange for paperwork. Then, simply make your starting payment to activate your short term car insurance. Since it is short term, you may be required to pay the entire period up front.

Upon confirmation of your payment, you should be able to get proof of coverage, copies of documentation for your records, and be on the road as soon as your are registered.
