Temporary Van Insurance
Daycover temporary van insurance makes sense for lots of different reasons. Perhaps you are borrowing a van from a mate to transport really bulky stuff or there's a job on the go that you just can't manage without a van. Even if you are arranging your own home contents removal, transporting your kids to their college or university or just taking a larger than usual load to the local dump, it often it makes more sense to borrow a van from a friend or a colleague. Short term van policies are also popular with foreign drivers who may not have to drive in the UK that often, so instead take out a policy only for those times when they need it.
We have arranged temporary van insurance for thousands of customers from the age of 18 to 75 years old covering just about every need you can imagine. Using this cover means no one has to make any claims on their primary insurer, so no-claims bonus discounts are fully protected.

Short Term Van Insurance Policy Overview
For Comprehensive policies (subject to policy terms) we indemnify the policyholder in respect of his/her insurable interest in the van subject to the excess level shown on your Policy Schedule. In the event of repairable damage we will normally use the Insurer's approved repairer procedure and supplier. In the event of total loss, any settlement will normally be negotiated with, and made to, the policyholder. It will then be the policyholder's responsibility to clear any liability to the owner of the van. The policy does not cover any liability to any party in respect of loss of use or availability of the vehicle. All Comprehensive policies carry Accidental Damage, Fire & Theft identified on the policy schedule and have a limit of indemnity in respect of loss of or damage to the van as specified on your Policy Documents. All our customers have additional cover in respect of uninsured loss recovery.
For full terms, refer to the policy wording which can be found in the FAQ section of this website or on your Confirmation of Policy email.
