Temporary van insurance

Temporary van insurance is a short term, comprehensive insurance policy to protect you and your van for between 1 hour and 28 days. Unlike a conventional 12 month policy, short term and temporary van insurance policies allow you to get comprehensive cover to drive a van, just for the period you need.

If driving a van is something you do rarely, it’s a great way to get comprehensive insurance protection at a price that reflects the amount you drive.

There are times when you may want to consider taking out a temporary van insurance policy:

• If you occasionally have to drive a van for work purposes a temporary policy can be a quick way to get cover as and when you need it. It’s often cheaper than the price of a full 12-month policy
• Moving home or even just doing some serious spring cleaning can take a long time if you have a lot of items to transport. A van can help speed things up, but you’ll need insurance in order to drive on UK roads
• When working, if a van is your backup vehicle to use whenever the need arises, a short-term van insurance policy could offer the right protection, just when you need it
• If you’re test driving a new van you can get temporary cover as soon as you’ve bought your policy!

Short term cover allows you to drive a van for a temporary period. With the vehicle owner’s permission, you can quickly and easily get comprehensive protection to drive your van from the moment you’ve borrowed or bought it.
