dayinsure.com is an internet-based company that provides short-term, comprehensive car and van 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 and schedule can be printed out immediately.
If you need short-term insurance for a car/van 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 policy. Once payment has been made, you can immediately print off the certificate and schedule, 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.
The concept is very simple. Many motorists will need additional, temporary cover 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 policy requirements.
dayinsure.com developed the original, temporary car insurance product as a result of assessing customer requirements to be able to insure vehicles on a short term basis. We now offer up to 84 days comprehensive insurance in any rolling 12 month period, with maximum periods of 28 days at a time. However, you can purchase two or three policies consecutively (i.e. one immediately following the other) to provide a continuous period of cover for more than 28 days to cover those holidays that are longer than a month. This does not prevent you from taking out your cover in smaller blocks, as and when needed, but it does provide flexibility to the customer who needs to temporary insure a vehicle for longer than 28 days.
We recognise that there are certain situations where you require immediate cover to drive another car 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, with the policy available in minutes.
