A unique type of cover
Although van insurance (also known as commercial vehicle insurance) is very similar to a private car insurance policy, it’s not the same. This is because vans come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are typically used for jobs that no other vehicle can perform.
A choice of ways to pay
The choice is yours: pay your van insurance premium in full or put down a 20% deposit and spread the cost over 9 months with our easy payment options. Choose whatever suits you best.

What our customers say
All the answers to FAQs
Our job is to make everything easier for you when it comes to van insurance. So check out these frequently asked questions to learn more about finding the right cover for your commercial vehicle:
-
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.
