Transit Van Insurance Guide

There is one particular manufacturer that symbolises the transit van and that’s the Ford Motor Company. The Ford transit van has outsold any rival manufacturer for many years and in 2005 the company confirmed that over 500 different models had been produced over the last 40 years.

It is not surprising therefore, that insurance company’s, brokers, and intermediaries target transit van owners to sell their products to as this vehicle represents a very large slice of the van sector. There is of course a wide range of Ford transit vans which are used on UK roads for different purposes such as the short wheel base (SWB), medium wheel base (MWB), long wheel base (LWB), minibus, chassis cab or purpose built to mention but a few.

As with any type of insurance product, several factors are taken consideration such as the vehicle's commercial or private use, annual mileage and who is behind the wheel before a quote can be obtained. The competency and durability of the Ford transit along with the reassurance of a 3-year 100,000 mile van warranty for new vehicles ensures a high number will be ever present in the UK. Regardless of the age of your transit van, consider shopping around for the best quote as most commercial vehicle insurance companies will be extremely familiar with this type of van.
