Temporary van insurance may be available for a few hours, days or months, but the cheapest quote is not necessarily the best value. Compare the total price, cover limits, excess, cancellation terms and any restrictions on business use, carrying goods, mileage or named drivers. Check that the policy covers your specific van and intended use, particularly if you need to drive abroad or transport tools and equipment. Prices and acceptance depend on your circumstances, so obtain quotes from FCA-authorised providers and check GOV.UK guidance if the van will otherwise be kept off the road.
