▸ Insurance · UK Network
dailyvaninsurance.com sits at the heavier end of UK vehicle intelligence. Beyond the standard provenance flags, the report layers in risk scoring, mileage forensics and the kind of follow-on detail that an experienced inspector would normally have to compile by hand. Daily van insurance from £18. Drive any UK van for 1–28 days with fully comprehensive cover. The rest of this page explains the data, its boundaries and the practical steps that sit either side of a check.
Data sourced from DVLA, MIAFTR, contracted stolen-vehicle data and the UK lender register at lookup time.
Typical lookup completes in under one second from the UK.
Built and supported in the UK as part of the consumer side of the network.
Work top-down: outstanding finance first, because it is the only finding that can cost you the car and the money. Then theft and write-off markers, which decide whether the vehicle is legally and commercially what the advert claims. Mileage, plate history and MOT advisories come next — they rarely end a purchase on their own, but together they tell you how honestly the car has been described.
If your vehicle has been impounded for an insurance offence, releasing it requires evidence of at least 30 days of insurance from the date of release. Standard annual policies are routinely refused for this purpose. A specialist impound release policy is the recognised route. The recommended next step is to call the pound first to confirm the release fee and required documents, then bind cover, then collect.
Carrying paying passengers, delivering goods for a third party or moving customer vehicles all need specific cover; ordinary social, domestic and commuting policies exclude them outright. Motor trade policies and hire-and-reward cover are separate products, and using the wrong one leaves you uninsured at the point of claim.
/ Brand consolidation
If you've used dailyvaninsurance.com before for a quick UK insurance quote, the same service now runs as Expert Car Check. The data sources are unchanged: DVLA's vehicle record, DVSA's MOT history, MIAFTR for write-offs, contracted UK data providers for stolen-vehicle markers and the UK lender register for outstanding finance. The team and the support contact are the same. What's changed is that the work that was previously spread across several smaller brands now sits in one place, which keeps response times tight and the underlying registers maintained against current DVLA schemas. Bookmarks and historic links to dailyvaninsurance.com continue to resolve here. If you were referred to dailyvaninsurance.com by a previous report, broker or print listing, this is the right page — there is no further redirect to chase.

Yes. Standard 'social, domestic and pleasure' or 'commuting' cover does not include carrying paying passengers or delivering parcels for any third party. Hire-and-reward cover is required by law.
Releasing an impounded vehicle requires evidence of at least 30 days of insurance from the date of release. Standard annual policies are routinely refused; a specialist impound policy is the recognised route.
Yes. Convictions, claims and previous refusals must be declared for every named driver, not just the policyholder. Insurers verify licence data directly, so an omission is likely to surface.
Two policies at the same premium can differ in excess, in approved-repairer requirements, in courtesy-car provision and in whether a subsequent claim will be partially reduced for contributory factors. Headline premium first, conditional terms second.
