Can I Drive a Business Van on My Car Insurance?
It’s possible that your car insurance might cover you to drive a van or other vehicles, but this will depend on your individual policy. Make sure to check your policy wording or speak to your insurer before you travel.
What is the Cheapest Van Insurance Group?
Vans are classified into an insurance group between 1-50. Vans registered before 2016 are placed in groups 1-20, with 1 being the cheapest insurance group. Vans registered post-2016 are put into groups 21-50, with group 21 being the cheapest vans to insure.
Do I Need Commercial Insurance to Drive a Van?
Whether you need private or commercial van insurance will depend on what you use your van for. If it’s purely for personal use, such as for hobbies or visiting friends then you’ll need private insurance. If you use your van for work or for transporting goods you will need commercial van insurance.
Remember that having the wrong insurance can invalidate your policy so it’s important you take out the right type of insurance coverage.
Is Business Van Insurance More Expensive Than Personal?
Business van insurance is typically more expensive than personal van insurance. This is because there are added risks, for example, commercial vans generally cover greater distances, journey at peak traffic times and travel to unfamiliar areas. This means there’s a greater chance you’ll need to make a claim, meaning commercial premiums tend to be higher.
But that doesn’t mean that you won’t find good deals on business van insurance. Using Apricot’s free, no-fuss online comparison site you can quickly compare different insurers and find great business van insurance deals in Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
