What is dayinsure.com – the original day insurance?

dayinsure.com is an internet-based company that provides short-term, comprehensive vehicle insurance for periods of between 1 and 28 days, underwritten by Norwich Union Insurance, one of the largest motor insurers/underwriters in the U.K. We have worked together to develop this innovative and flexible product to meet the needs of 21st century motoring. Originally introduced for the franchised motor trade, the product was extended to the general public in June 2005, providing a quick solution for insuring another vehicle or person on a temporary basis. This avoids having to contact an existing insurer/broker to amend a policy and then having to wait for a certificate/cover note to arrive through the post. The policy is comprehensive and the certificate of insurance can be printed out immediately.

Why would you want to use short term insurance?

The concept is very simple. Many motorists will need additional, temporary insurance at some stage, either to use another vehicle which does not belong to them, to drive home a new purchase or to insure another person to drive their own vehicle. It can be very onerous to amend an existing annual insurance policy by adding an additional vehicle or driver. dayinsure.com by-passes this complicated procedure, providing a simple answer to your temporary motor insurance needs.

How does temporary insurance work?

If you need short-term insurance for a motorhome then dayinsure.com provides a simplified internet booking site which requires minimal information about the vehicle/driver/additional driver. The site is easy to use, and clearly directs you through the information required to set up the insurance. Once payment has been made, you can immediately print off the insurance certificate, and a copy is also sent as an e-mail attachment to confirm the booking. Bookings can be made up to days 28 days in advance.

Emergency use of temporary cover

We recognise that there are certain situations where you require immediate insurance to drive another vehicle for which you are not insured, and in these emergency situations you cannot wait days for a cover note to arrive. Our website enables you to insure daily to drive another vehicle in minutes.

Short Term Insurance for up to 84 days

dayinsure has developed the original temporary motorhome insurance product as a result of assessing our customer's needs to be able to insure daily over a longer period of time. We now offer up to 84 days insurance in any 12 month period, taken in maximum blocks of 28 days at a time. However, you can run 2 policies consecutively i.e. one immediately following the other to provide a continuous insurance period of over 28 days to cover those holidays that are longer than a month. This does not prevent you taking your insurance in smaller blocks, as and when needed, but it does open up the product to the customer who needs to temporary insure for longer than 28 days.
