Yes, all Dayinsure policies offer cover if you want to insure a car for business use or are borrowing a car from a friend. However, the policy only covers the main short-term driver who must hold a full UK driving licence. There’s no insurance cover for hire and reward, so the insurance doesn’t cover you as a delivery driver or taxi service.
Please see the policy wording for more information on the towing restrictions for your policy.
Yes. Our insurance includes third-party cover for a trip to countries within the EU, the EEA and Switzerland automatically – as long as the car is in the UK when the insurance starts and finishes.
You may upgrade this cover to comprehensive cover when you’re completing the application.
We can’t provide insurance to you in a country outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland. Please click here to confirm which countries are in the EU and EEA.

Please note: learner drivers should get a learner driver policy, which can be arranged here. They are not covered to drive a car on a general Dayinsure policy.
