  There may be several occasions when you might need a short-term insurance, whether it be health insurance or auto insurance. A short-term insurance might be for you, especially when you don't need a long-term insurance or just need insurance that is quick and inexpensive.
  
  

Fast Approval

• Whether it is a health or auto insurance, short-term insurances usually get approved quickly -- within a day or two. This can come as a huge advantage for unforeseen events, such as a surprise trip outside the country, or the need to rent a car on short notice. Also, a short-term health insurance may be beneficial if you suddenly get ill and need to be covered.
  
  

Low Costs

• Because of their reduced-coverage time, short-term insurances are inexpensive. They can also be a good alternative to a long-term insurance if you find yourself uncovered and you cannot afford a long-term plan at that point.
  
  

Flexibility

• When choosing a short-term insurance, you can pick premium features at lower costs, since the coverage period is lower. Also, the period can vary, from just one-day insurance up to a whole year, depending on your needs.
  
  

Auto Insurance Advantages

• There are several occasions when you might need short-term auto insurance. Whether you are traveling and you need to rent a car or you just sign up for a test drive, a short-term insurance will do the trick. Also, short-term insurances are available for classic cars, so you can safely take your classic for a spin every now and then without having to pay for a long-term insurance.
  
  

Health Insurance

• Graduates who can't yet afford a long-term insurance, but need an insurance plan in order to get a job, will find that short-term health insurance is an option. Also, even though you may already have a health insurance policy in your home country, it might not be valid in a country you want to travel to, so a short-term insurance in the target country will do the job.
