Dining, Sleeping and Smoking: Admitted Alternative Van Uses

Depending on the type of van insurance you take out, you may be covered to use your commercial vehicle beyond work-related use. Whereas for many this may mean a quick trip to the shops, a study by Direct Line has found that there are a number of weird and wonderful uses for vans.
