What is van insurance?
Our Aviva Signature comprehensive van insurance makes sure you’re covered against accidents, damage and theft. We’ve got different options and add-ons to offer, so you can tweak your cover until it fits you like your very own seatbelt.
It doesn’t matter whether you use your van to load your tools every day for work, or to pack in the surfboards and take the kids for a road trip to the coast.
Benefits of van insurance
-
Tool cover
Someone breaking into your van and stealing your tools could be a disaster for your business. But don’t worry – as long as there was forced entry to your van our comprehensive cover gives you up to £500 to get some shiny new tools.Footnote [1]
-
Repair guarantee
We guarantee the quality of repairs made by our approved repairers for as long as you own your van, even if you change insurers. The parts used are covered for length of the guarantee given by the manufacturer or supplier. Wear and tear is not covered. You must keep your vehicle roadworthy.
-
Glass replacement
If your van’s windows or windscreens get damaged we’ll help you pick up the pieces. Not literally – but we will help you sort out a repair or replacement. Comprehensive cover only.
Types of vans covered
Pick the option that fits you to make sure you’re getting the right kind of van insurance. We can cover most vans with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of under 3.5 tonnes and electric vans with a GVW of up to 4.25 tonnes.
Business van insurance
If you use your van for work – like carrying tools, driving to and from job sites, or using it to help run your small business – you’ll need our business vehicle and van insurance. You can register the van in your own name if you’re a sole trader, otherwise it should be registered in your company’s name.
Personal van insurance
Maybe you’re a keen gardener and your van is piled with pots or you’re an enthusiastic surfer and need plenty of space to carry your boards. If you only drive your van for social use (and not as part of a small business or your working life), our personal van insurance could be what you need.
