Van insurance cover is available in a variety of levels similar to standard car insurance in the UK. The type of cover you will need depends on several factors. The purpose of the van, whether commercial or private use, will determine the type of cover you need. If your van is used for work or your business, you will need a commercial policy, otherwise a standard van insurance policy will be adequate.

As with standard insurance cover, there are three levels of van insurance cover. Everything from the most basic third party to fully comprehensive cover level is available for private van insurance. Commercial van insurance is typically offered with third party fire and theft or fully comprehensive cover. As with any insurance, before purchasing van insurance carefully consider your needs and your budget. Van insurance cover will vary from one policy to the next, so it is important to not only carefully consider your needs, but to also carefully read your policy.

There are also a number of extras that can be included on your van insurance cover. Legal expenses cover will cover your legal expenses (if this is not already included in your policy). Breakdown cover is a popular extra, and is a good idea for those with commercial policies. Having your van off the road for a time may mean a loss of business. Glass cover offers protection for damaged or shattered windows and windscreens. Tools and spare parts cover is available from some insurers, and is a popular option for commercial policies. Replacement vehicle cover is an option to carefully consider for the commercial policy. It will keep your business going even when your van is off the road.

Before committing to any van insurance policy, however, it is essential to carefully read the policy. Whichever individual policy you choose will determine what you have cover for, and what you don’t. Understanding the different levels of van insurance cover and the terms and exclusions of your van insurance policy is essential.

One thing to look for is any free extras on your van insurance policy. While you are most likely to find free extras with a fully comprehensive level of cover on your van insurance, there are no guarantees there will be free extras. Some of the free extras could include free replacement vehicle cover, free glass cover, free tools and spare parts cover, or free legal expenses cover.

The best way to save money on your van insurance is to shop around, compare different policies, even look online - and above all drive carefully. The longer you go without a claim on your van insurance, the bigger discount you receive from your no claims bounds bonus. Also remember the ‘just enough’ rule of van insurance. There is no need to pay for lots of van insurance cover that you do not need. Be careful not to over-insure, but beware of under insurance as well. Whether you need a standard or a commercial van insurance policy searching for the best deal is always a good idea.
