How Does the Temporary Car Insurance Calculator Work?

To get your cost estimation from our insurance calculator, simply select the type of vehicle you wish to cover, and how long you need a policy for. Then our handy calculator tool will do the rest.

Our car insurance calculator will give you a cost estimate based on the lowest prices of similar policies provided by us, so you know approximately what price you could expect when you get a full quote.

How is Car Insurance Cost Calculated?

Every policy is different, which is why it can be tricky to calculate potential car insurance costs without all the details. Insurers consider several factors when providing a quote, and our calculator will only give you an estimate of what you could pay based on what some of the other GoShorty customers paid. When you get a full quote, the insurer will use all the information provided to see how at risk your vehicle is and how likely they think it is they will need to pay out. 

Factors taken into account by insurers to calculate your insurance cost includes: 

  • Age: Younger drivers usually have to pay higher premiums. This is because they are seen as a higher risk due to having less driving experience.
  • Type of vehicle: The size, make, model and age of your car all play a part in calculating the cost of your policy. Pricier vehicles, or ones with higher theft rates can come with higher premiums.
  • Driving record: Drivers with a clean driving record, fewer claims and accidents usually pay lower premiums.
  • Location: Some places can be higher risk than others. So where you live can be a factor in the cost of your coverage, including the crime rate and the number of accidents in your area.
