If you need short term cover to drive a van then you can get a 1 to 28 daily van insurance policy online. You can either insure yourself to drive another persons van or insure someone else to drive your van. Applying online means that you can get a policy at any time of the day or night, as soon as you have paid using your credit card your policy will be active.
Being able to get temporary van insurance is useful for a variety of reasons whether it is for personal or business use. You can temporarily add an additional driver or vehicle. You can get covered to drive away a new van immediately that you have just purchased or you can insure a friend to drive it for you. You may have purchased the vehicle from a garage or private individual quite a distance from where you live or work and need temporary insurance to drive it back.
If you have hired a van or borrowed one from a friend or relative then you can get a daily van insurance policy to cover you to drive the vehicle. Your cover can be arranged online at any time of the day or night and you can print off your documentation straight away or get it emailed to your inbox.
To qualify for this type of insurance you need to be a UK resident of at least 21 years of age. You will need to have a valid full UK driving licence and have no more than seven penalty points on that licence. There is also a clause in the road traffic act that means you cannot take out a second policy within 15 days of taking out the first.
