“To use your vehicle to get to and from work, your policy will need to cover use for commuting,” explained MIB in October. “This is often referred to as ‘social, domestic, pleasure, and commuting’.”
“You can find out if you are covered for commuting by checking your insurance certificate and schedule. This essential document explains what uses of the vehicle you are covered for.
MIB added: “Policies that include commuting will cover you to drive to your ‘usual’ place of work, but if you drive to another place of business, such as a meeting, conference, or an event elsewhere, your policy will need to include ‘business’ use.”
That means even a policy that covers commuting won’t be enough to insure you for the abovementioned cases. Meanwhile policies that don’t include commuting at all only cover driving not related to work.

But how much of the above is true?
