Van Insurance Guide

What is covered?

Van insurance is very similar to car insurances with regard to the levels of cover offered by companies. The three main types of cover offered are third party, third party fire and theft and comprehensive van insurance.

Most vans are often classed as commercial vehicles, however, insurance companies and brokers specialising in this area will often provide competitive quotations for grey imports, minibuses, American, modified, and camper vans.

It is normal practice for most insurers at the quotation stage to ask what type of commercial activity the van is used for. Unless the van is used in the motor trade or for hire or reward, most insurers will offer cover. However, if the van you wish to insure is used in connection with the activities already mentioned there will be fewer insurance companies willing to cover the vehicle.

Discounted premiums maybe offered by some insurers if the van is parked in a secure location overnight and insurance approved security systems are fitted and in working order.

Look out for policies that include liability insurance either as part of the policy or as an optional extra. This is particular useful for van owners and drivers who wish to protect themselves and the business.
