What happens motor insurance policies taken out today (29th February)?

We are in a leap year, occuring once every 4 years, what happens if you take out a car insurance policy today, the expiry date can't be 29th February next year as that date won't exist. Perhaps insurers just forget about today and write the business as starting tomorrow?
