THE SHORT VERSIONPractical cover questions while changing address or using another vehicle.
01 / THE DETAILSYour location may matter
An insurer may need your current address and where the vehicle is kept. If you are moving, do not enter an old address simply because it appears on older documents. Supply the details requested and clarify which address applies for the proposed cover period.
02 / THE DETAILSBorrowing a vehicle to move
If you will drive a friend’s car or a larger vehicle, check the exact vehicle class and proposed use. Goods-carrying, courier or paid moving activity may not fall within ordinary private use. Temporary motor cover does not automatically include goods-in-transit protection.
GOOD TO KNOWCommon questions
Does standard car insurance cover goods being moved?
Not automatically. Motor insurance and contents or goods protection are different.
Can I insure a rented van as a car?
Do not assume so. Check the vehicle class and the actual insurer product.
