Do I need weekly van insurance?
It is a legal requirement that you ensure you have the appropriate insurance to drive on public roads in the UK. Weekly van insurance is ideal for those moments you only need to be insured to drive a van for a short time.
Rather than committing to an annual policy, weekly cover gives you the flexibility to insure a van for just the time you need.
If you don't need cover for the week, we can still help! You can get temporary van insurance hourly, daily or even monthly!
One of the biggest advantages of temporary van insurance by the week is that it could save time and money. Instead of being added to someone else's annual policy, which can be expensive and affect their no claims discount, you get your own comprehensive cover. This keeps things simpler and ensures you're protected without the added hassle or cost.
So, if you're looking for weekly temporary van insurance to move house, move some large furniture or head out on an exciting stay-cation with just a little more luggage than your car can handle - van insurance for the week could be just what you need.
It gives you instant cover, total peace of mind, and complete flexibility... exactly when you need it.

How much does weekly van insurance cost?
The way our insurers calculate the premium for your 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.
Temporary van insurance 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.
