Short-Term Van Insurance lets you quickly and easily get temporary coverage for your own or a borrowed van, ensuring you're protected when you need it most.

How Does Temporary Van Insurance Work?

Temporary van insurance provides flexible, short-term coverage for your own or a borrowed van. Simply choose your coverage period—ranging from hours to weeks—get an instant quote, and drive with confidence, knowing you're fully insured.

If you are currently not insured on a van that you need to drive, this policy is an independent policy that insures you to drive the van. It is fine if the van is already insured by someone else under their annual policy - as long as you have the owner's permission to borrow the van, you can purchase cover from Tempdriver to insure you to drive the van as well. The Tempdriver policy acts as a 'top up' policy to cover the additional risk of the temporary additional driver. You do not need to contact the insurer's of the annual policy.

  • Your occupation: Some insurers charge more (or refuse to provide coverage) for van insurance if you use the van for work.

  • Your credit score: Some insurers use your credit score to assess your risk and may charge more if you have a poor credit score.

  • The van's condition: Some insurers may not insure vans that are damaged or have been modified.
