Who We Cover?
DriveAway Insurance helps UK drivers who need short-term motor insurance for cars and vans, particularly in drive-away situations where cover is required immediately. This type of insurance is commonly used when a driver needs to legally drive a vehicle on the same day it is purchased, without committing to an annual policy straight away.
Cars and Vans
Short-term cover may be available for cars and light vans, with flexible policy durations starting from as little as one hour, subject to eligibility and insurer criteria.
Drive-away insurance is often used when:
• Collecting a car or van from a dealer
• Buying a vehicle from a private seller
• Driving a newly purchased vehicle home
• Temporarily using a car or van before arranging annual insurance
This allows drivers to stay legally insured for the journey, while giving them time to compare and arrange long-term cover later without pressure.
Important Information
DriveAway Insurance is an insurance intermediary, not an insurer. All policies are underwritten by authorised UK insurers and are subject to underwriting criteria, eligibility requirements, and policy terms and conditions. Cover is intended for UK drivers.
All drivers must hold a valid driving licence and meet insurer eligibility criteria.
