As with any insurance policy, you need to scrutinise the policy documents carefully. Look at levels of cover provided, note whether there is a limit to mileage that you can drive. You can keep levels of premiums lower if you accept a higher excess. If you are a young driver looking for temporary car insurance, then it may pay to go to an independent broker and get some professional advice.

I already have comprehensive car insurance. Do I need temporary car insurance as well?

You can normally drive a vehicle other than your own and still be insured providing that you have your own fully comprehensive car insurance. However you will only be driving it with third party insurance. If you were unlucky enough to have an accident then any damage to the vehicle that you have crashed in to will be covered, unfortunately though you will have to pay for the repairs to the vehicle that you are driving. So the question of whether you need to take out temporary car insurance is down to how much risk you are willing to take.
