Temporary Van Insurance
Temporary Van Insurance — Short-Term Cover from 1 Hour to 28 Days
Temporary van insurance provides fully comprehensive short-term cover from 1 hour to 28 days. It is an affordable way to insure yourself when driving a different van without affecting the vehicle owner's no claims discount. Standard annual van insurance is not cost-effective if you only need cover for a short period — temporary insurance lets you pay only for the time you need.
At UK Sure, our quick online quote form finds you the best temporary van insurance in minutes. Cover starts immediately and your insurance documents are delivered straight to your inbox. We cover cars and commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes with a maximum value of £65,000. Drivers must be aged 21 to 75 with a valid UK or EU driving licence.
Temporary van insurance is perfect for borrowing a van for moving house, sharing driving on a long trip, test driving before you buy, collecting or delivering a vehicle, or occasional use. If you need cover for longer than 28 days, you will need regular van insurance.
