Temporary van insurance

What is temporary van insurance?

Temporary van insurance does exactly what it says — short-term cover to make life easier. Need a van for a few hours, days, or weeks? We’ve got you.

Say you’re moving house with your mate’s van. It’s stressful enough without extra hassle. With our cover, a few minutes is all it takes to tick one big worry off your list.

Choose a policy lasting from 1 hour to 28 days, with no annual contracts tying you down. You only pay for what you need, so you can focus on the real challenge — getting that bed up the stairs.

How temporary van insurance works

Short-term van cover is as agile as Ford Transit. It’s everything you expect from a standard, fully comprehensive van insurance policy without a long contract.

Basically, it’s a really easy way of getting immediate insurance cover. So you can protect yourself, the vehicle, and others, wherever life takes you.

Here’s how it all works:

• You tell us which van you need to insure, when you want the policy to start and how long it should last.
• You choose from a suitable range of affordable, fully comprehensive policies that are tailored to your needs.
• The policy activates as soon as you complete your purchase, so you can be on the road in just a few minutes.
• When your temporary van insurance policy expires, your cover ends. If you need more time behind the wheel, don’t worry! You can buy another policy that gives you additional hours or days.
• It could be your van, your mate’s or one from work. It doesn’t matter. Temporary policies don’t affect existing insurance. So, should anything happen, your no-claims bonus won’t be affected.

Temporary vs annual cover: which should you choose?

As you can probably tell, we do appreciate the convenience of temporary van insurance. However, that’s not to say we don’t have a soft spot for annual policies, too.

Temporary van insurance is just that. Temporary. It’s not a long-term fix.

Renewing your van insurance every few weeks or so is going to get boring quickly. It’ll also be expensive, and you’ll have to SORN your vehicle between policies. See what we mean?

If you will be driving a van regularly but don’t want an annual policy, give pay-as-you-go insurance a thought. You pay a base rate and then get charged for the miles you use. It’s ideal if your van spends more time parked than packed.
