WHY DO I NEED VAN INSURANCE?

Van insurance is a legal requirement in the UK. Unlike car insurance, driving a
Van usually comes with a greater risk, especially when used for commercial
purposes. Van insurance is specifically designed to cover the increased
financial loss that could result from making a claim.

When using your Van for commercial purposes, you’ll want to make sure that your
business and your livelihood is fully protected. Van insurance policies come in
many shapes and forms with a whole host of additional cover levels. Protecting
your cargo, tools or equipment from loss, damage or theft is just as important
as protecting the Van itself.

Getting the right Van insurance is crucial. Without adequate cover, you run the
risk of financial losses which are likely to have a big impact on both your
business and personal life. Get added peace of mind and compare with
VanInsurance.co.uk to get the right deal at the right price today.




WHAT TYPE OF VAN INSURANCE DO I NEED?

How you use your Van and for what purpose is going to have a direct impact on
the type of cover you need. UK Van insurance classes of use are defined very
specifically. Choosing the wrong insurance for your Van or your circumstances
could mean that you're not covered in the event of any losses.

Firstly, you need to decide whether you will use the Van for private or
commercial purposes. For commercial Van insurance, you’ll then need to define
which class of use you fall under:




 * SOCIAL, DOMESTIC & PLEASURE
   
   For private use such as going on holiday, taking a shopping trip, or enjoying
   hobbies like mountain bilking or surfing, you can choose a social use policy.
   Its worth noting that commuting to and from a place of business is not
   covered under this type of policy like it would be with car insurance.


 * COURIER
   
   This type of cover is also referred to as Carriage of goods for hire and
   reward. Basically, if you’re getting paid to deliver goods that you don’t
   own, then you’ll be classed as a courier. Best suited to local delivery
   drivers, you’ll also want to be covered in the event your cargo is lost,
   damaged or stolen with a goods in transit policy.


 * CARRIAGE OF OWN GOODS
   
   If you use your Van for work on a daily basis, such as transporting your
   tools of the trade, then you’ll need a Carriage of Own goods policy. You’ll
   also be able to take out additional tool theft insurance for added peace of
   mind. This type of insurance is perfect for local tradesmen.


 * HAULIER
   
   Similar to courier insurance, a Haulage policy is for when you’re delivering
   goods over long distances, usually to just one single destination. Haulage
   insurance is specifically designed to cover the increased risks involved from
   spending longer on the roads. You’ll need to make sure you're also adequality
   covered for goods in transit to protect your payload for damage, loss of
   theft.




ARE THERE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF VAN INSURANCE?

As with car insurance, there are 3 main levels of Van insurance cover. To be
able to drive your Van legally in the UK, the minimum level of cover required is
Third Party only. The additional levels of cover are designed to give you
further peace of mind, especially when insuring your Van for business use.


THIRD PARTY ONLY

This will cover all third parties in the event of damage, injury, or loss of
life due to an accident. It wont cover your own Van if you are at fault and
doesn’t provide cover if your Van is stolen. No protection is provided from
damage caused by fire. While this level of cover is usually the cheapest option,
its not recommended for business and commercial use.


THIRD PARTY, FIRE & THEFT

This offers the same level of cover as above but with the added benefit of cover
for theft of your Van or any damage caused by fire. Still, it doesn’t offer
repair or replacement of your vehicle in the event of an accident that’s deemed
to be your fault.


FULLY COMPREHENSIVE

This is always the recommended level of cover for commercial use. In the event
you're involved in an accident, your Van will be repaired or replaced regardless
of who was at fault. You're also covered for theft, fire and damage caused to
your vehicle and ensures you get back on the road quickly to avoid loss of
business.

VAN INSURANCE FAQ

Arranging Van insurance raises many questions. We aim to provide the answers. If
you can’t find what you’re looking for, try our help centre for more information
or feel free to give us a call and talk directly to a trained insurance advisor.


1. HOW DO I GET VAN INSURANCE?

With VanInsurance.co.uk, it's easy. Using our online smart forms, you can
compare quotes in under 3 minutes by providing some basic information. Simply
tell us who you are, where you live, how long you’ve had your licence and
whether you’ve had any claims or convictions in the past. Then simply add the
details of the Van you wish to insure, and our platform will do the rest!.

Once you're happy with the quote, add in any extras you wish and buy online
instantly. You’ll be covered right away.


2. CAN I INSURE THE VAN UNDER A COMPANY NAME?

Sure. As long as the business owns the Van and you haven’t personally registered
it to yourself, we can arrange your cover under your legal business name.


3. ARE MY TOOLS COVERED?

A standard Van insurance policy usually wont cover your tools. You should look
into an additional tool insurance policy to ensure adequate protection from tool
theft.


4. WHAT ADDONS CAN I PURCHASE?

A range of additional cover options are available from most reputable insurers.
Some addons can be offered as standard with your main policy while others may be
introductory offers. Depending on the level of extra cover you require, some
addons come at a premium or as an extra policy entirely. From breakdown cover to
additional tool insurance, you can read more about the different policy extras
offered here.


5. HOW CAN I GET CHEAPER VAN INSURANCE?

Your age, driving experience and endorsements as well as the Van you’re driving
and where its kept overnight, are the main factors effecting your premium. While
many of these can’t be changed, there are certain aspects of your policy you can
influence, such as your voluntary excess or looking after your no claims
discount. We’ve prepared a great guide on what you can (and can’t) change in
order to lower your premium.


6. I'VE NOT BROUGHT THE VAN YET. CAN I STILL GET A QUOTE?

Yes. You don’t need to own the vehicle in order to start the quote process. All
we need is your personal information and the details of the Van you wish to
insure. If you don’t have the vehicle registration to hand, you can manually
input the make, model, and mileage. Your quotes will be saved in our portal and
will be accessible anytime.


7. WHAT TYPES OF VAN CAN I INSURE?

As long as the Van you wish to insure weighs under 7.5 tonnes and is for private
or commercial use, we can provide quotes from our leading panel of insurers.
Anything over 7.5 tonnes and you will need to contact a specialist HGV insurance
company.

Vehicles such as minibuses or refrigerated Vans may require additional details
and as such you should contact one of our experts for a specialist quote.
