insurd, the North Wales-based digital insurance broker with over 50 years of experience in arranging insurance for UK customers, has today announced a new intermediary partnership with GoShorty — one of the UK’s leading temporary vehicle insurance providers — enabling insurd customers to access a full suite of short-term cover options via Insurd’s website.
insurd already arranges full annual insurance for car, van, motorhome and campervan owners across the UK. The new partnership with GoShorty fills a gap that sits alongside that core offering: short-term, standalone cover for the moments an annual policy isn’t the right fit. Whether that’s lending a vehicle to a friend or family member, borrowing one for a single trip, or covering a vehicle that’s only used occasionally throughout the year.
The centrepiece of the new offering is temporary motorhome and campervan insurance. A product that has seen growing demand as more UK motorists choose to borrow, lend, or hire leisure vehicles rather than commit to annual policies. Available for durations from 1 to 28 days, the fully comprehensive cover is designed for drivers aged 30 to 69 and addresses a widely recognised gap in the market. Standard annual policies, including insurd’s own, frequently leave motorhome and campervan owners exposed when lending their vehicles privately, while the borrower may have no viable means of securing standalone cover quickly. Because it is a fully standalone policy, the owner’s no-claims bonus is fully protected, even if the borrower needs to make a claim.
With the cost of overseas travel continuing to rise and staycations set to increase in 2026, the motorhome and campervan sector has experienced a notable uptick in peer-to-peer borrowing. Through this partnership, insurd customers can now get a quote and purchase cover in under two minutes — entirely online, at any time of day.
“For most car, van, motorhome and campervan owners, an annual policy is exactly what they need, and that remains at the heart of what we do. But we also know there are moments that fall outside of that — lending a motorhome to a friend for the weekend, or covering someone who’s only borrowing a campervan for a one-off trip. That’s where our partnership with GoShorty comes in. We’re really pleased to be working with them — they’re one of the leading names in temporary vehicle insurance, with a market-leading panel of insurers and a strong reputation for getting customers covered quickly. Customers can now get genuine, comprehensive short-term cover in minutes, sitting alongside the annual products we’ve always provided.”
Craig Shaw, Director, insurd
