What Is Van Insurance?
Van insurance is required by law to drive a van on UK roads. Third-party cover meets the minimum legal requirement, third-party fire & theft adds protection for fire or theft, and comprehensive cover includes your own van even if you’re at fault. You can also add extras like tools cover, courtesy van, windscreen protection, and legal expenses to suit your needs.
