Third party only

This is the minimum level of van insurance available, and covers compensation costs and legal fees should you injure somebody or damage their vehicle.

Third party, fire and theft

This van insurance covers the cost of fixing or replacing your vehicle if it’s stolen or damaged by fire. This cover also offers third party liability protection.

Comprehensive van insurance

Includes everything mentioned above, and includes cover for van repairs, vehicle damage, and accidents caused by you.

It’s often believed that comprehensive van insurance is the most expensive because of how much protection it offers. However, this isn’t always the case. Price, and the level of cover available, also depends on the provider you choose. Using a van insurance comparison tool offers you the best cover and value for money.

There are four main types of van insurance:

Commercial van insurance

Also know as business van insurance, you need this cover if you drive your van for work purposes. Commercial van insurance is also divided into carriage of own goods cover (for tools of the trade) and haulage cover (for items you’re delivering).

Private van insurance

Also known as personal van insurance, this policy is for those who drive vans for social and domestic reasons.

Courier van insurance

This cover is for drivers who make regular deliveries using their van. Couriers often transport valuable goods, which means they often need a higher level of cover.

Pickup van insurance

This covers you for both commercial and non-commercial use.

To set-up your van insurance you will need to provide the following information:

Your personal details

You’ll need to tell us the kind of driving license you have, your occupation and driving history, including any offences or claims. If anyone else drives the van, their details also need to be provided.

The kind of van you own

This includes the van’s registration number and details, age, value, number of seats, the van’s usual parked address, security features, and an estimate of your annual mileage.

Your current insurance documents

You can make sure you tailor your new quote to match the cover you have already and ensure cover is on the same basis.

To make your van insurance more affordable:

• Use your no claims discount — if you have one with your current insurer, it can be transferred to your new van insurance provider.
• Use our van insurance quote comparison engine to find a policy to suit you.
• Add more security to your van.
• Drive locally so your annual mileage is reduced.
• Pay for the year in advance — this will save any instalment charges.
• Insure only what you really need.
• Increase your voluntary excess — this means the amount you pay at the point of claim will rise, but results in cheaper premiums.

In addition to cover for your van itself and protection for any accidents or injuries caused while using your van, you can also extend your van insurance policy to include many optional extras such as Legal Expenses, Breakdown cover and Guaranteed Replacement Vehicle cover.

You should also make sure your business is fully protected.  As part of Tradesman Saver’s standard tradesman policy, you’ll be covered for public liability, products liability, legal expenses, financial loss and accidental death cover, as standard.

Public liability insurance protects you from the cost of any injuries or property damage you cause to a third party. Accidents are common, and injuring a customer or member of the public can cripple your business. This means it’s crucial to get the cover you need.
