Top 10 questions

  • Do I need to specify what I am using the van for?

    Yes – your insurer will not be liable for any injury, loss or damage while your vehicle is being used for any purpose not covered by the certificate of motor insurance.

  • What’s an excess?

    If you claim for accidental damage to your van, you have to pay the first portion of any claim. The amount you pay is called an excess. Please check your policy schedule to find out the amount of your excess.

  • Am I covered to pull a trailer?

    This cover can only be provided if the insured vehicle meets the licencing requirements and towing law requirements needed to tow a trailer. Third party trailer cover operates when the trailer is attached, or detached provided it remains in the policyholder’s care, custody and control at all times.

  • Am I covered if I leave my keys in the ignition and my van is stolen?

    No. Loss or damage caused by theft or attempted theft if the keys (or keyless entry system) are left unsecured or left in or on an unattended van is not covered.
