Temporary insurance for a driver's license-free vehicle: what you need to know

Do you use a moped (also called a light motor vehicle) for occasional trips? Whether for a test drive, a loan, or a limited period of use, temporary insurance can be a perfect solution. This article explains why this option is useful, what the conditions and guarantees are, and how to easily subscribe with KT Tempo.
What is a permit-free car and why should you insure it temporarily?
A car without a license is a "road vehicle" that circulates on public roads without the driver holding a standard B license — often registered in the light quadricycle category (VSP). Insurance is mandatory , even for these light vehicles.
Temporary insurance involves subscribing for a limited period (a few days to a few months) to cover occasional use, rather than committing to an annual contract.
Typical usage contexts where temporary insurance is relevant
- Purchase of a driver's license-free vehicle, followed by limited use before registration or regular use.
- Lending or renting the stroller between individuals for a few days or weeks.
- Seasonal or occasional use: holidays, occasional trips, second car.
- Transit or temporary use while waiting for a standard contract to be put in place.
- Test or trial use of the light vehicle without a license before a longer-term commitment.
Conditions to be met to take out temporary VSP insurance.
- The vehicle must be registered (with a registration certificate) as a car without a driver's license.
- The driver: often requires a category AM/BSR license if born after 1988 for a car without a license.
- The duration of the contract must correspond to the intended use: from 1 day to a few months depending on the insurer.
- Documents to provide: vehicle registration certificate, proof of identity, intended use, and sometimes proof of residence.
Key guarantees to check and specific features of this plan.
- Third-party liability (TPL) : the legal minimum for driving.
- Theft / fire / material damage: depending on the use and value of the stroller.
- Possible deductible: some temporary insurance policies offer advantageous rates but with a higher deductible.
- Geographical conditions / usage: verify that the intended use (loan, rental, occasional use) is covered.
- Specific pricing for small cars: occasional use = more flexible premium. Example: a temporary offer for a car without a license often starts around a few euros/day.
