RUN FOR COVER

Do you ever worry how your business would suffer if your van was written off following an accident?

Van drivers insuring with Gladiator Commercial will now have peace of mind thanks to a new Hire Vehicle Cover Scheme introduced by the Company.

Gladiator Commercial, one of the UK's largest specialist van insurers, has pledged to keep their customers on the road whenever possible. Van drivers with Third Party Fire and Theft insurance cover, and those with Comprehensive cover will have the option to take out Hire Vehicle Cover as an extra on their insurance policy.

In the event of their van being declared a total loss as a result of fire and theft, those with Third Party Fire and Theft Cover will be entitled to up to 14 days of continuous van hire. Drivers with Comprehensive Cover receive up to 21 days of continuous van hire if the van is deemed a total loss from either fire, theft or as a result of a road traffic accident.

The Hire Vehicle Cover offered by Gladiator Commercial costs just £29 for the year. Compared with an average day's van hire costing between £40 and £60 across the UK.

Each type of cover can be used for a maximum of two claims during the policy term. In each case customers will be given a replacement vehicle equivalent to their own.

Chris Price, managing director at Gladiator Commercial said, "We realise that for most of our customers, their van is their livelihood. By providing a Hire Vehicle Cover Scheme, we can keep our customers on the road and make life easier for them at a naturally stressful time."
