How can I get one-day car insurance?

I don't have a car, but my girlfriend does. Can I get one-day car insurance so I can drive her vehicle? We're moving in together and will need to make several trips across town.

“Moving in with your girlfriend is exciting news!
It is understandable why you are interested in purchasing temporary insurance. However, one-day insurance companies are not reliable, so we’d advise against it.
But there are still other options for you to consider.
Based on the information that you do not have a car, it may be worth purchasing
non-owner car insurance
to ensure you have
liability coverage
when you are driving someone else’s car. Non-owner car insurance is a great option if you would like to rent a car or plan to borrow your girlfriend’s car in the future. What’s even better, this option is typically 10% cheaper than standard car policies.
Alternatively, if you see yourself driving her car frequently, ask to be added to her insurance policy. Her premium will go up, but you two could split the bill and enjoy peace of mind knowing that you’re both covered.
If car insurance seems expensive when you’re pricing your options, look to
