    Im looking to rent a car for a few days but the rental company dont provide car insurance. So I have to get my own but was wondering is it possible to get car insurance for just 3-4 days??? Need any info? Thanks:)

    Any half decent rental crowd should provide insurance.
    Don't think it's too easy to get a policy for a few days, especially as you won't own the car....

    Never heard of a rental co that doesn't provide insurance... and I rent a lllott of cars. Is it because you're under 25? Normally they refuse to rent or charge a huge extra.

    Edit: I remember an ad on UK telly for short term insurance... anything from 1 day, but I don't know if it would happen in Ireland.

    Any big crowd will have insurance included. Tourists rent all the time without issue.

    You have a 14 day cooling off period for all insurance but they may not insure you at all if the car is rented.
