Need short-term minibus insurance for a special trip?
If you are thinking of borrowing a minibus for a special trip or a short family excursion or holiday, you will need temporary minibus insurance.

How long do you need cover for?
The options for temporary minibus insurance will vary from broker to broker, but policies are available that start from 1 day and can last for 3 months. Most temporary minibus polices can be extended, so if you insure for a week and later decide you need longer, contact the broker in advance to request an insurance extension.

The daily rate will be slightly more expensive than an equivalent annual policy, but this is to be expected for this type of specialist insurance.
