Van Insurance-Where to begin?

[kd_entertainments]

Don go near commercial insurance, just say that you fancy a change of car and want a van!

And then don't get paid out when they find you using it for business.....

Not sure that's a great idea.

Very bad advice.


You SHOULD tell your insurance company you use your van for commercial use. If you are involved in a serious accident and the police check your van your insurance wont pay out......

As I mentioned earlier on I pay £575 a year and that covers me for commercial use for both my Businesses and a peace of mind. How bad can that be?

i found it cheaper putting my occupation as sound/lighting engineer than mobile dj

As mention above if you don't mention you are a mobile Dj on your insurance than you could end up not being paid out in a claim.

Also if you are stopped by the police and are asked to produce your insurance details at the local cop shop. They would then find out that you do not have commercial insurance for your vehicle.

Just for the record I am with the Norwich Union cheapest I could find at the time.

i find that they hype up the price for anyone in entertainment, but cvd-insurance.co.uk do ok for me - at least you get to talk to them.

Looking at getting a van and i was just wondering what companies you would recommend.Do they charge double the cost of a car because It has DK gear in it etc?

Many Thanks

I found that having a van was only about £80 more than insuring a car for me to drive. I told them it was for disco use and that didn't make much difference to them.
