Our food delivery policies are not only flexible, but you can get a policy in less than two minutes – meaning very happy customers AND fully protected drivers.
Our offering is available in the form of hourly food delivery insurance (also known as hire & reward food delivery cover) for vans, meaning you can pick and choose how long your shift is, and purchase cover only for the time its needed.This means short-term insurance that adapts to your schedule, rather than being tied into an expensive contract that you don’t use.
The process of securing an insurance policy with us is quick, hassle-free and seamless – we just need your van’s registration to start. Or, if you’re borrowing a friend or family member’s vehicle, just input their registration, followed by your own personal information, purchase a policy and you’re covered – plus their no claims discount won’t be affected if you get into an accident.
What you can expect:
Food delivery insurance is a type of commercial insurance specifically designed for drivers or businesses that are delivering meals to customers while in their vans. Whether you’re employed by a company and looking for specific insurance, or require a more general flexible food delivery insurance policy, these policies can protect against the risks and liabilities of carrying out food deliveries.
Whether you’re worried about accidents or damage to your vehicle, our comprehensive food delivery insurance is available to aid all parties involved in any unforeseen circumstances. This insurance can help to ensure the safety of a business and their drivers, with hourly food delivery insurance available for those who need last-minute coverage to make a few deliveries at short notice.
Luckily, temporary food delivery insurance is just as customisable as the dishes you deliver – meaning our hourly food delivery insurance policies are comprehensive yet inexpensive.
You’ll be covered just for the time you require, which is essential as delivery drivers will be covering a significant amount of ground. While unlikely, this does increase the potential risk of accidents or damage to your vehicle, meaning a flexible food delivery insurance policy is key to protecting yourself.
In addition, these policies are perfect for any drivers or businesses that do not operate food delivery on a full-time basis, ensuring flexibility and allowing you to cut down on costs. However, there is no ‘one price fits all’ in place, as food delivery insurance costs will be dependent on several factors, including the vehicle itself, the driver’s information, and your location.
All insurance policies offered by GoShorty are offered on a temporary basis, meaning you can get covered for as little as one hour, up to 28 days. The flexibility provided by these policies means that drivers and their vans are protected.
With our services, your insurance policy is fulfilled quickly, meaning you can get on the road and make money in as little as two minutes!
The food delivery insurance offered by GoShorty covers a whole range of the risks and liabilities faced by delivery drivers on the road. This ranges from:
And remember, our policies allow for the carriage of goods for hire & reward services including social, domestic and pleasure (SD&P) use, meaning you’re automatically buying a comprehensive policy from the get-go. Just make sure to select the option including carriage of goods for hire and reward from the drop-down ‘vehicle usage’ menu when applying for your quote.
It is also important to consider that with temporary van insurance, any claims made won’t effect the no claims bonus earned against any other policies that may also cover the same vehicle. This means that you can borrow anyone’s vehicle, or allow anyone to borrow your van when delivering food, with no risk to the main owner’s no claims discount.
There are many instances in which food delivery insurance is handy, starting by protecting yourself and your vehicle when on the roads. In addition, providing cover in the event of any accidents or events that incur in the course of your travels helps to bring you peace of mind when driving.
More importantly, our flexible food delivery insurance allows you to borrow or lend your vehicle to another driver in less than 2 minutes. This means if you decide to pick up a last-minute shift, or you’d like to help your friends or family out, you can do so with ease.
As with all of our policies at GoShorty, your eligibility for fast food insurance is dependent on your personal circumstances, and the value of the vehicle in question. We pride ourselves on offering our comprehensive policies to anyone aged 21 through to 70, and you can see more information about who we cover.
MID: Please note that all our Short Term Insurance policies are submitted to the Motor Insurance Database (MID)at 9am and 2pm every day. We recommend always having a copy of your Insurance Certificate with you during the period of cover.

Food delivery insurance refers to a specialist type of insurance created specifically for food couriers while driving in their vans. These could refer to individuals working for a restaurant’s own delivery team, or a driver working for a business. This insurance specifically caters to the needs of any food delivery drivers, meaning issues such as theft, accidents, or any other potential risks are covered.
Anyone delivering takeaway food in the UK will require some form of food delivery insurance, providing cover for the carriage of goods for hire and reward purposes. This is because using your vehicle to conduct deliveries counts as commercial use – so standard insurance will not cover all of your needs.
The comprehensive temporary food delivery insurance provided by GoShorty will cover individuals working for big name courier services. As an extra bonus, our cover isn’t specifically linked to any businesses, meaning that purchasing one policy will have you covered across all different providers.
