Temporary

Thank you for the question. It's likely that you'll be able to get coverage in California with a foreign license.

Not all car insurance companies in the US will be willing to cover an imported right-hand vehicle, so be prepared to shop around. In addition, temporary car insurance doesn't really exist.

There really isn't a global policy that can be used for what you are needing, nor does "temporary insurance" exist. The good news is most insurance plans are paid month-to-month and have very minimal penalties for canceling — if any penalty at all.

Whether you're insuring your car or RV, temporary insurance is not really an option — most policies are for 6-12 months. You can typically cancel at any time but be aware of any fees for canceling early.

Insurance companies don't offer temporary car insurance since policy lengths are typically six months to a year. If you will only be driving the vehicle for one week out of the year and you do not live with your mother, her policy should cover you to drive under permissive use.

If you've already found a company that will insure your vehicle considering it is not operable (which can be tricky), I would just recommend contacting that insurance company and see if you can start the policy early. There are no companies that will insure your vehicle for 5 days, unfortunately.

Most policies are for at least 6 months. You can always cancel your policy at any time however, there is most likely a cancellation fee that you will need to pay.

Since you will be driving your friend's car, you will need to be listed on their insurance policy as a driver. Since your friend is the owner of the car, they are required to maintain insurance on it.

Most policies are at least 6 months. You can always cancel the policy at any time, however, there may be cancellation fees involved and will vary per company.

There isn't really anything for what you're looking for. Most insurance policies are 6 months in duration.
