Hire and reward insurance

I need to get hire and reward insurance for my car to cover grocery/fast food delivery. My current insurer doesn't offer this but I believe you can get top up insurance elsewhere. Are there companies that offer just hire and reward? The only ones I have found cover for social use too and are over £200 a month. Ideally a pay as you go or month my month is what I need as I don't want to commit for a whole year

    No recommendations at all but there are:
    Zego - do short term that covers the full use of the vehicle or a pay as you go that is top-up only
    Inshur - do short term full policies

    I'm sure there are others doing short term policies, Zego is the only one I can recall that are doing topup policies

    Thanks yeah i have tried those but would mean having to cancel my insurance policy but maybe I have no choice. I could probably get a cheaper annual hire and reward but I want to see if the job is worthwhile yet. Inshur have quoted me £245 a month.

    Zego's by the hour is a top up but clearly gets expensive if doing it full time etc... its good for those just squeezing in a few hours here and there.

    Short term insurance will always be much more expensive than annual insurance on a per day basis as they've got to cover almost all the same acquisition and setup costs that an annual policy does.
