What is daily car insurance?
Daily car insurance provides a 24-hour block of fully comprehensive cover, perfect for day trips, test drives, or emergency vehicle use. It is a standalone policy that allows you to drive a car you do not own without the risk of affecting the owner’s annual insurance premium or no claims bonus.
Instead of the hassle of adjusting an existing policy for a single day, Veygo offers affordable daily plans. You pay only for the day you need, with no long-term contracts or hidden setup fees.
It is ideal for drivers who need a car for a specific task or a short getaway, offering peace of mind that you are fully legal and protected for the entire 24-hour period.
How does daily car insurance work?
Getting daily car insurance can be done entirely online and takes just minutes. You provide your personal details, your UK driving licence number, and the vehicle registration. Veygo uses this data to give you an instant price.
Once paid, your cover can start immediately or at a time you select. You can manage everything via the Veygo app, including viewing your documents and extending your cover if your day trip turns into an overnighter.
Because Veygo understands plans change, you can cancel the policy before it starts without paying any cancellation fees.

How do I get a quote?
You can get a quote with Veygo, here.
You’ll be able to enter in all your details quick and easy and be able to get a quote in no time! Unfortunately our agents cannot provide quotes over the phone or by email.
Can I add another driver to my policy?
Unfortunately, another driver or car can’t be added to your existing insurance policy, but you can buy a separate insurance policy for the other driver or car you wish to insure. When purchasing for another driver, they’ll need to continue as a new customer and create their own account with an alternative email address. Easy!
Can I negotiate my insurance policy price?
Not sure about the price or why it’s changing? The price you see going through the quote is only a guide.
Once you have entered all the information, you will be shown the final price on the “Your Final Quote” page and this will be an accurate price, based on all your details. Our agents will not be able to change or amend this price.
Can I tax a car if I have temporary insurance?
Atually, yes – you can. You can tax your vehicle with a temporary policy at the DVLA website. Or, if you want to go old-school, you can take your temporary insurance docs to the post office.
Can I use Veygo learner driver insurance to take my driving test?
Veygo learner driver insurance does provide cover for your practical driving test. You may be asked to take a copy of your certificate of insurance with you, which is available to download as a PDF document within your Veygo account. To view this, please log in, go to ‘My account’ and select ‘Purchases’.
Should you wish to, you can also use your own vehicle to take your driving test. Please bear in mind that the car needs to meet certain legal requirements, which can be found at GOV.UK.
Important: If you pass your test, this insurance will no longer be valid, as it only covers provisional licence holders. This means you won’t be able to drive home from the test centre. But you can get a quote for our temporary cover if you continue sharing the car. Good luck!
Will my price change after passing my test?
Your price will change after you pass, but not right away. With Learner + New Driver, your first month after passing remains the same as your learner price. After that, your price will adjust based on your new driver quote, which we will share with you once you pass.
Your new driver price will be directly linked to your driving score in the Veygo by Admiral app, which means it will change based on your driving behaviour. If your driving score is good because you’ve been driving safely and responsibly, your subscription price may decrease. However, if there are changes in your driving behaviour that means your driving score is lower, then your subscription price may increase.
We know how important every pound is at the moment. Adjustments to your subscription price will come into effect every three months and will always be communicated to you in advance.
