Temporary Van Insurance: Flexible, Affordable Short-Term Cover

Temporary van insurance is a short-term and flexible alternative to annual policies. With a temporary van insurance policy, you can insure a van for anywhere from an hour to a month. Whether you need to borrow someone’s van, or you only insure yours when you need to use it, temporary van insurance can save you money and allow you to get on the road fully insured in minutes, any day of the week and at any time.

Quotes for annual van insurance can be costly. But short-term temporary cover can be an affordable alternative. The exact cost will depend on a few factors including:

• Location: Your location can increase your chances of making a claim. Some locations are deemed to be higher risk than others, which will be taken into account when you receive your quote.
• Policy Duration: Unsurprisingly, the longer you need cover for, the more your policy is likely to cost.
• Type of Vehicle: Your van size and model can impact your quote. Vans with smaller engines are often cheaper to insure.
• Previous accidents: Even if an accident wasn’t your fault, prior claims can affect the cost of short-term van insurance.
• Personal Details: We pride ourselves on our acceptance criteria, which means we’re able to insure more people. However, some factors such as your age and driving history can still impact the cost of your cover.

If you’re thinking of driving on UK roads in a van, you’ll need a valid insurance policy in place before setting off. There are many reasons why you might need to drive a van temporarily, so make sure you’re covered.
