In Europe and the US the need for car insurance is driven by Insurance Laws and the obligation to drive an insured vehicle. In South Africa it is not required by law to drive an insured vehicle and the need for car insurance is driven rather by the high accident rate and the threats presented by crimes such as vehicle theft, hijacking etc.
Most vehicle owners will purchase car insurance for a 12 month period and then consider reviewing their existing car insurance. There are however also options available to acquire temporary car insurance should the need arise for temporary cover.
Why would anyone consider temporary car insurance?There might be a need sometimes to consider car insurance for a shorter time than the usual one-year car insurance policy. Examples could include:
Temporary cover for an additional vehicle or while you are on holiday. Temporary car insurance to protect the car driver or the car rental company in case of any emergency that may arise as a result of using the car.

The American Jobs Act would halve payroll taxes for workers in 2012 and for businesses on the first $5 million of payroll if Congress passes the bill as is. Other incentives in the plan include giving businesses a $4,000 tax credit for each hire of a long-term unemployed worker and eliminating payroll taxes for new hires and wage increases up to $50 million.
But would that be enough to push businesses to hire?
Ford Heacock, president of Lakeland-based Heacock Insurance Group, said the plan's incentives could be helpful for businesses with hiring plans, but he said many companies will be reluctant to add staff with so much political and economic uncertainty clouding the future.
"I think consumer confidence is really based on knowing what's down the road. Until we have some stability … we're all going to be nervous and unwilling to commit," Heacock said.
He said hiring staff just to take advantage of the plan incentives would be like "going out and buying a big car just because it's on sale, and realizing later you can't afford the gas."
