Before requesting van insurance quotes, note your van’s registration, value, mileage, business or personal use, overnight parking arrangements and any modifications. Have your driving history, named drivers, claims record and no-claims discount details to hand, and answer every question accurately. Compare the same level of cover, excess, courtesy-van arrangements, legal expenses and breakdown assistance rather than choosing on price alone. Check that the insurer or broker is FCA-authorised, and read the policy wording and exclusions before buying.
