Temporary vs annual insurance: which one suits you?
Annual insurance is the market standard, but it's not always the smartest choice. These are the real differences that matter.
Coverage: practically the same
Both temporary and annual policies offer mandatory third-party liability and, if you choose, additional coverage like roadside assistance. The difference isn't in what they cover, but for how long.
Price: depends on actual usage
If you use the car every day, annual is more cost-effective. If you use it occasionally, temporary saves you money because you only pay for the days you drive.

Flexibility and paperwork
- Temporary: 100% online purchase, instant activation, no paperwork.
- Annual: requires direct debit, automatic renewal, and sometimes cancellation with notice.
What if I need long-term coverage?
For usage exceeding 30 consecutive days, annual is usually more efficient. For everything else, calculate and compare before deciding.
