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.
