Do you use your van for private or business use? This will have cost implications for your insurance. If you use your van for business use, are you a courier transporting goods for a third party? Or do you transport goods that are essential for your line of work, which may be the case if you work as a plumber or a builder. How you use your van will determine the options of your insurance policy.
You will also have to decide on the type of policy you want for your van insurance. There are three basic types of van insurance policy. The minimum level of cover which is required by law is Third Party Only van insurance. This covers you for any damage you may cause to other road users or their vehicles as the result of a road traffic accident. However, it doesn’t cover you for any loss or damage that your van may sustain.
A Third Party, Fire and Theft insurance policy will include the liability cover of a Third Party Only cover and give you the extra cover of loss or damage to your van sustained by fire, theft or attempted theft, and accidents due to lightning strikes. However, this does not cover you for loss or damage to your van in the case of road traffic accidents in which no one was to blame, or where you were the guilty party. For that level of cover, you will need a Fully Comprehensive van insurance policy.
The cheapest van insurance for you will depend on the type of van you drive, whether you use your van for business or pleasure, the level of cover you need, and your personal circumstances (such as your age, the area where you live, and whether you have made claims or have points on your license for instance).
Vans are classified as goods-carrying vehicles for insurance purposes and are rated on their carrying capacity or their carrying capacity plus the statutory unladen weight. The larger the size of your van, the more expensive will be the van insurance. Van insurance will also depend on the cost of parts should it need repairs and the cost should it be written off as the result of an accident.
A Fully Comprehensive van insurance policy may include a number of extras, such as breakdown cover, replacement vehicle cover (important if you need your van is essential for your business and it’s going to be out of action for a few days or longer), tools in transit cover (covering the cost of replacing tools if they are damaged as a result of a road traffic accident), windscreen repair, and a certain amount of legal expenses cover (covering you for legal expenses if you need to claim compensation from other drivers for instance).
