WE COMPARE 12 VAN INSURANCE COMPANIES TO GET YOU A GREAT PRICE

Van Insurance for every business is different. A van will have different requirements to a Heavy Goods Vehicle and a Commercial Motor Fleet will have more specific requirements than a single or domestic vehicle.

Once we know your details, we can quickly arrange the most suitable cover for your particular needs, at a price you'll appreciate.

When Buying Van Insurance you will need a quotation for Comprehensive Insurance and Third Party Fire & Theft Insurance (TPF&T). In most instances there is very little price difference between the two types of policies, though the difference in cover is enormous. With a TPF&T policy, your own van is covered only if it is stolen or goes on fire. With a comprehensive insurance policy, your van is also covered for accidental damage. Third party Liability cover always applies to both cases.

What other insurance covers are available to Van Owners?

Breakdown assistance is automatically included in van insurance policies underwritten by a number of companies. So if you are quoted a competitive price from one of these insurance companies, you will not need to purchase additional Breakdown assistance cover which will save you €30.

Driving Other Vans is a very useful additional cover and is included free with van insurance policies underwritten by certain insurers. Driving other vans gives you TPO (third party only cover) while driving a van not owned by you and with the permission of the owner. Very useful if your van breaks down.

Signage discounts are available from at least one Insurance company. Be sure and mention to us if you have a sign and we will be sure to get any discount currently available.

Legal Expenses insurance is automatically included on van insuarnce policies currently supplied by at least two underwriters. This means that you don’t have to buy the (optional) add on legal expenses cover which saves you €25.

Windscreen cover is included on nearly all comprehensive van insurance policies though some insurance companies also include windscreen cover on TPF&T policies.
