Don’t pay for cover you don’t need when borrowing a van
If you’re borrowing a van - even if it’s just for a week - you need to be properly insured to drive it.
Adding someone to an existing policy can be a long, drawn-out and costly process. You can save yourself time and money with temporary van insurance…
Can I insure a van for a week?
Yes, drivers can get van insurance for 1 week. Unlike an annual policy, it’s flexible and separate to any existing policies, so there will be no impact on any no claims discount.
Whatever the situation, borrowing a van from a friend, colleague or family member is often the best way to do the jobs that your own vehicle just isn’t big enough for.
When is weekly van insurance the best option?
Some of the common reasons people get van insurance for a week are:
- Borrowing a van to clear out a house - For when you’re on the move and need somewhere to store and transport your belongings.
- Borrowing a van to use for work - Do you only need to use a van for work occasionally? Save money and only pay for the time you need with temporary business van insurance.
- Running a van for business purposes while the regular one is in for repairs - Usual van not available for one reason or another? Keep working with temporary business van insurance.
What happens if you don’t get insurance?
It’s illegal to drive any vehicle on a public road in the UK without insurance.
Potential penalties include:
- A fixed penalty of £300
- 6 penalty points
- Potentially an unlimited fine or disqualification from driving if the case goes to court.
