What is temporary van insurance?

pink zig zag line

Temporary van insurance protects drivers against repair costs in the event of an accident when driving a van. 

It works in the same way as a long-term policy – only for a shorter period, allowing you to choose as and when you need to be insured.

Because it’s temporary, drivers don’t have to spend a significant lump sum on an annual policy. Whether you need an hour, one day or monthly, you can choose what works best for you.

The versatility of temporary van insurance means it can be used for almost any purpose and still guarantee you the best price! 

Veygo’s temporary van insurance lets you: 

  • Borrow a friend’s or relative’s van for a day if you need to transport larger items.
  • Get driveaway cover if you’ve purchased a new van – giving you more time to sort out a longer-term annual policy. 
  • Insure someone else onto your van – should you not be able to drive in the event of an emergency.
  • Get cover for a rental van – so you can be protected on the off chance a van rental company doesn’t offer insurance as standards. 
  • Save on removal company costs if you’re using a van temporarily to move house, for example. 
  • Insure another van for commercial purposes if yours breaks down on the job.
