Borrow a van and make a plan

  • Cover from 1 hour
  • Only pay for the time you need
  • Comprehensive with no impact on no claims discounts

Can I get one hour van insurance?

There are some jobs where only a van will do, so if you need to borrow one, make sure you have insurance in place.

If you’re caught driving without it, you could face penalties including points on your licence, fixed penalties and the vehicle potentially being seized.

You can avoid the hassle of changing a policy or adding a named driver by taking out temporary van insurance, especially if you only need to drive it for an hour or two.

Comprehensive as standard with no impact on existing no claims discounts, this is a fast and flexible option for any short-term van-driving needs.

What if I need to insure a van for longer?

If you need to use a van for longer than first expected, you can take out another policy - anything from 1 hour up to 28 days. All you need to do is follow the same process as before.

Why get hourly van insurance?

Common reasons for taking out hourly van insurance include:

  • Moving home - It makes sense to borrow a van when moving all your belongings. Taking out hourly van insurance can be cheaper and more convenient than a removals company.
  • Your van is in for repairs - Whether it’s a breakdown, MOT or service, sometimes your van will be off the road. If you’re able to borrow another one, hourly van insurance keeps your business running.
  • Transporting a large item - If you’ve just bought some new furniture or found a bargain on a marketplace site, borrowing a friend’s van to get it home makes things easier. Especially if it’s a local pick-up that can be done within an hour.
