Temporary Van Insurance
Borrowed a van for the weekend or between annual policies? Covered in minutes, 1 to 14 days.
Vans get borrowed more than any other vehicle — house moves, furniture runs, tip trips, a mate’s Transit for the weekend — and annual van policies rarely stretch to extra drivers. A temporary policy covers you on the van for exactly the days you need, then ends by itself.
Enter the van’s registration and we identify it automatically; light commercials are covered by our panel of underwriters alongside cars. Choose 1 to 14 days and comprehensive or third-party, pay by card, and the certificate is emailed within minutes — the van shows as insured on the Motor Insurance Database, which is what a police ANPR check sees.
When temporary van cover fits
- Moving house with a borrowed or privately hired van.
- Driving a van home that you've just bought.
- Occasional courier or delivery work needing a few days' cover.
- Covering a works van while the named driver is away.
- Bridging the gap between annual van policies.
Do you cover vans as well as cars?
Yes — our underwriter panel covers cars and light commercial vehicles. Enter the registration and the quote automatically matches the van to the underwriters that cover it.
Can I get cover for a van I'm borrowing today?
Yes — the quote takes about 2 minutes and cover can start immediately, with the certificate emailed within minutes of payment. The owner's own insurance is never involved.
Is business use covered?
Cover options are shown in the quote for your specific vehicle and use. If you're doing paid delivery work, say so in the quote so the right basis is applied — social-use-only cover won't protect a courier run.
