I worked as a courier several yearsago, and I can tell you that there are, or at least were, a lot of couriers working without courier insurance. But it's very risky- if you have a major accident and the insurance company finds out you're a courier (and they will) you're basically out in the cold- so just don't do it.
On the up-side, courier work is very well paid if you're with the right company, so that pretty much balances the cost of the insurance- Maybe you could just try it out on regular insurance for a couple of weeks, to make sure it's worth your while, and that you actually enjoy the job; but don't leave it long- it's a very dangerous job, so you need proper insurance.
