It’s also a good idea to check if your personal belongings are also covered with the temporary insurance certificate.

Is Snail easy to drive?

No, one thing to remember the van is a 40 year old Classic!! It does not travel as efficiently as modern vehicles, its a different driving experience, very slow paced, top speed is approx 50MPH so please allow extra time on your journey. It is right hand drive with no power steering, however, still fun to drive!! Due to its age it requires E5 Petrol.

That depends on your temporary insurance policy. Usually 25 - 75 years old with a minimum of 2 years driving experience.
