Start by gathering your van’s registration, your driving licence details, address, occupation, annual mileage and claims history. Decide how you use the van, such as for commuting, carrying tools or making deliveries, and choose the cover level you need. Enter the same accurate information on comparison sites or directly with insurers, then compare the policy limits, excesses, exclusions and optional extras as well as the price. Check the details before buying, as inaccurate information could affect a claim, and confirm that the provider is FCA-authorised.
