DayCover describes monthly van insurance as cover for up to 28 days. It may suit borrowing a van while moving or completing a household project. Check the actual dates rather than assuming cover lasts a full calendar month.
The price shown in your quote is for the driver, vehicle and period you select. Compare the options available for the time you need, including any excess and optional extras. Temporary insurance may suit occasional use; an annual policy may be better value if you drive the vehicle regularly.
Choose enough time for the whole journey, including the return trip. Check the quoted start and end times rather than relying on a label such as ‘daily’ or ‘monthly’. If your plans change, make sure valid cover is in place before continuing to drive.
Have the vehicle registration and the driver’s details ready. Choose when you need cover, then review the price, eligibility and policy terms before buying.
Think about how often you need the van and compare the available quote with other durations or annual insurance. The policy must cover your use; transporting your own tools is different from paid courier work.
Get a quote quickly, with a minimal amount of questions for just the length of time you need to drive the van to keep costs to a minimum.

You decide when your cover starts and ends, providing complete control and flexibility.
Our short term van insurance protects you, your passengers, your van as well as other people, property and vehicles.
You cannot legally drive a new van home without insurance. If you have an accident you won’t be insured, even if it is new and you haven’t sorted a new policy yet. Monthly van insurance is very easy to set up from anywhere, so you want to avoid ever driving without the appropriate insurance required by law.
Check the accepted age, licence history and van value in the quote. Different numerical limits appear on the current website and must be confirmed.
Yes you can take out multiple monthly van policies in a year, but there will come a point that if you’re always insuring the same van, that an annual policy would be more cost-effective.
DayCover’s published Terms of Business say temporary policies cannot be extended and do not renew automatically. If you need more time, request a new quote before the existing policy ends. A new policy is subject to acceptance; check its start time to avoid a gap.
You’re only insured for the carriage of your own goods. This means it’s suitable for personal use or transporting your own tools and equipment. It does not cover any form of hire or reward, including courier work, delivery driving, or using the van as part of a delivery service. If you’re earning money from transporting goods, you’ll need specialist commercial or courier insurance instead.
You can’t take out monthly van insurance on a hired van. Short term monthly cover allows you to borrow a van and insure it, rather than insure a hired van.
The van must be physically located in the UK at both the start and end of the policy. Monthly van insurance is not valid for importing or exporting vehicles or for driving outside of the UK, EU, or EEA.
Contact DayCover if you need to cancel. Whether a refund is available depends on the policy and whether cover has started. Read the cancellation terms in your documents before buying; do not assume that the rules for annual insurance apply to a short-term policy.

Monthly van insurance is a clever way to protect your existing no claims bonus, as well as the person's who lent you the van.
