When you compare van insurance quotes, check that each policy offers the same level of cover, such as third-party, third-party fire and theft, or comprehensive insurance. Look at the excess, exclusions, mileage limits, permitted use and whether tools or goods carried in the van are covered, as these can vary significantly. Give accurate details about your van, driving history and business use, since incorrect information could affect a claim. Compare the policy documents and insurer or broker details, and check that the provider is FCA-authorised before buying.
