What are the different types of commercial van policies?

  • Carriage of own goods is the cover that allows you to use your vehicle for business. This will not cover your own business’ goods, your equipment, or portable tools. However, you can get extra tool cover or good in transit insurance separately.  
  • Carriage of goods for hire or reward policies are usually aimed at delivery drivers, couriers and any profession that requires you to transport property or goods for profit. 
  • Haulage is similar to the above but covers a single load of items transported within a long journey.

Is van insurance a legal requirement, and why do I need it?

Insurance will always be a legal requirement for every type of driver – whether you drive a car or a van.

However, only a few drivers realise that you must also ensure that you have the correct type of cover in place for your vehicle.  

Whether you use your van for personal use or to do your work, you will require either a personal or a commercial van insurance policy.

If you don’t have the correct insurance cover for your van, your policy will be rendered invalid. In the eyes of the law, if you are insured with the wrong type of cover, you would be classed as driving without insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have a personal van insurance policy if I use my van to commute to work?

This type of policy will cover your van for personal and social use, such as morning school runs, weekly shopping trips and family outings.

If you plan on using your van as part of your ​​daily commute and for other business activities, then it would be classed as ‘business-related’ activity. In this case, you would need commercial van insurance.

However, some van insurance policies offer coverage if you travel to work in your van but only use your van for personal use. This type of policy is known as being for ‘social domestic, pleasure, and commuting’.

If you need help determining which type of van insurance you need, call our team on 0800 107 0914 with any questions, and we can advise you on the right cover.

Why is van insurance usually more expensive?

If you’ve previously only had car insurance, you will likely see a difference in prices when purchasing a van insurance policy.
Here are just some of the reasons why these policies can be a bit pricier than standard car insurance:

  • If you’re under 25 and have less driving experience, your premium will be slightly higher.  
  • The location of where your van is stored overnight.  
  • The type of van you’re driving.  
  • How you intend to use your van may affect your quote if any add-ons are required. 
  • Vans are more likely to be in an accident as they are used more often and have higher mileage. 
  • A van’s engine and power will be higher than a car which – in the hands of an unskilled driver – can pose a bigger risk in the event of an accident.

If you want to reduce your van insurance quote as much as possible, you will need to show your insurer that you’re a responsible and experienced driver. We can advise on the best ways to try and bring down your insurance premiums once you get in touch with us.

What do I need to get a van insurance quote?

When getting a van insurance quote, you might be asked questions to help calculate the correct price for your policy.

Remember that you will need to have your details to hand on the phone regarding the following information:

  • Full name, address, and occupation. 
  • Overnight location of your van and what you use it for. 
  • The make, model, mileage covered, and age of your van.  
  • Details about any modifications to your vehicle. 
  • What you intend to use your van for.  
  • If you have any medical condition that impacts your insurance or driving.  
  • Details on previous claims or any No Claims Discounts. 
  • Any details of additional drivers on the policy, including their claims and driving history. 
  • Information about previous convictions if you have them. If they are unspent, then you will need specialist van insurance for convicted drivers.
