What is temporary van insurance?

Temporary van insurance – sometimes known as short-term van insurance or temporary commercial van insurance – covers you to drive a van for a set period of time, be it a day, a week or a month. It offers all the same protections as regular annual van insurance policy, but just for the specific window of time for which you need it.

That makes it perfect for when you need cover on a van for a short time and don’t want to add it to your annual policy. It can make borrowing a van for a removal job quick, easy and cost-effective or, if you’re test-driving a van, you can get cover for the trip.
