The demand for short term car insurance always existed, but the lockdown accelerated the demand. The founder Simon Jackson noted that COVID caused many people to give up on cars because of financial constraints, or they just needed access on an ad hoc basis.

GoShorty is a provider of flexible short term insurance, they have strong panel of insurance providers that include Ageas, LV=, Mulsanne and KGM. The staycation market has also been a driving force in the rise of temporary insurance market.  People on staycation want to borrow SUV's for these trips, and again they need short term cover so as not to impact the actual policy of the SUV or 4x4 truck owner.   At the moment they do not provide cover for temporary motorhome insurance, but it is something that may be added in the near future.  If you are in the delivery business, pay as you go delivery insurance is available from the Multi Quote Time panel of insurance providers.
