GoShorty temporary insurance policies already provide great insurance cover for your chosen duration of cover, but we’ve also got several optional extra add-ons that you can select during your purchase to give you even more peace of mind.
Worried about what happens if you break down or have an accident? Our optional extras could be perfect for you.
You can find out which optional extras are available to you when you get a quote, and please note that not every add-on is available on every type of GoShorty product, or to every driver.
Ready to find out more about our add-ons? Let’s get started.
We’ve got 3 different optional extras that you can choose to add on while you buy your GoShorty temporary insurance. These are:
Breakdown Protection Cover is ideal for drivers who want the peace of mind that if the car or van that they’re borrowing breaks down during their period of cover, they’ll have access to assistance to help get them on their way again.
Excess Protect Cover helps to cover up to £500 of the excess amount on your GoShorty temporary insurance should you need to claim on the policy where that claim is over the excess amount.
Legal Protection Cover provides legal protection if you’re involved in a car accident or other legal dispute related to your insured vehicle.
Let’s look at each in more detail:
