Introducing Our New App | Temporary Insurance App Guide

Our new temporary insurance app is here to make getting temporary insurance even quicker, simpler and smarter than ever before. Whether you’re borrowing a car for the weekend, sharing a van with mates or just need fast learner cover, our new temporary insurance app has everything you need at your fingertips – so you can get insured in just a few taps. It’s available for download now on the App Store and Google Play Store.

Why We’ve Built the App – And Why You’ll Love It

We know that drivers turn to GoShorty when they need cover instantly – not after filling out endless forms or waiting for emails to come through. So we’ve taken everything that makes GoShorty quick and easy online and made it even better in our new app.

Whether you’ve used us before or you’re new to temporary car insurance, the app is designed to save you time every step of the way. From now being able to scan your licence to allowing you to access your documents in seconds, it’s built for speed, simplicity and peace of mind.

And if you’re someone who borrows or shares cars regularly – or just wants a more streamlined way to manage cover – the GoShorty app could be a game-changer.

Cover in Minutes Wherever You Are

With the GoShorty app, you can take out temporary car, learner insurance, or even van insurance in just a few taps, thanks to being able to save your details for quicker quotes. It’s perfect for moments like:

Picking up a new car and needing driveaway cover
Borrowing a van to move house
Getting in a practice session before your driving test
Getting behind the wheel of a shared family vehicle

You can scan your licence and number plate using your phone camera, autofill your saved details for an instant quote, and pay securely using Apple Pay, Google Pay or your stored card. No faff. No delays. Just fast, comprehensive cover that’s ready to go when you are.

GoShare – Smarter Car Sharing for Groups

Sharing a car or van with friends, flatmates or family? Our new app makes it easier than ever with GoShare – a new feature exclusive to the app.

GoShare lets you create a group, save shared vehicles, and invite others to do the same. That means when someone needs to get insured to drive, they can sort it instantly without the back-and-forth.

It’s ideal for:

Student houses sharing one car
Families borrowing each other’s vehicles
A van that’s used by a few different people for odd jobs

Once the group is set up, taking out a policy is just a couple of taps away. Everyone knows who’s covered and when, and the vehicle owner’s no claims discount stays protected.

Get Rewarded with Every Policy

We’re also introducing a brand-new loyalty scheme, exclusively available via the app. Every time you buy a policy through the app, you’ll earn points that can be turned into money off future policies.

So if you regularly borrow a car or need flexible cover now and then, it pays to do it through the app. You can track your points and spend them how you like – it’s our way of saying thanks for driving with us.
