How much does monthly van insurance cost?

The premium you’ll pay for your short-term van insurance will depend on several factors, including your age, driving experience, location, the time and date you need cover, the van you’ll be driving, and how long you need to be insured for.

If you only need to drive a van for a short period, a temporary van insurance policy can be an affordable and flexible option. However, keep in mind that the longer the duration of your cover, the higher the cost is likely to be.

You can take out multiple temporary van insurance policies throughout the year, especially if your driving needs are occasional or vary. But if you find yourself regularly using the same van, switching to an annual van insurance policy could work out more cost effective in the long run.

How can you get the cheapest temporary van insurance?

In order to get the cheapest temporary van insurance for you: only pay for the time you actually need to drive.

One of the biggest advantages of temporary van insurance is its flexibility. You can start your cover at the exact moment you need to drive and set it to end as soon as you're done. This way, you're not paying for unused time, keeping your costs as low as possible.

By insuring yourself on a van only for the specific period you need it; whether it’s for a quick delivery, a weekend move, or a short work project, you avoid the higher costs of unnecessary, longer-term policies.

You can choose cover from as little as one hour, up to 28 days. If you need more time later, simply take out another temporary van insurance policy, it’s quick, easy, and designed to work around your schedule.
