There's only one company which will insure young drivers (under 21s) for short periods ranging from 1-28 days. It's Tempcover Ltd, so try to get a quote from them.

All other insurers will only consider providing insurance cover when you have reached the age of twenty one. Insurance is a risky business and insuring young drivers is an enormous risk because of their lack of driving experience, hence huge premiums when you have just passed your test.

However you can have car insurance for just a month without the minimum age requirement of 21 with eCar Pay As You Go Insurance. This is a monthly insurance policy and can be renewed or cancelled after the 1 month period.

Let me know is that's of any help to you.
