LOOKING FOR INSTANT COVER?

Fed up of spending time on the phone trying to find the right insurance cover for your van? One insurer is now offering instant cover to their customers at any time of day, by going on-line.

Gladiator Commercial, one of the UK's largest specialist van insurers recently launched its interactive website, giving customers the chance to buy van insurance on-line at any time of day or night.

www.gladiator-commercial.co.uk is a quick and easy site to use. It offers competitive rates from a panel of 18 UK insurers. At the end of January 2005, it had processed more than 15,000 quotes for van insurance.

Some examples of what customers can expect to pay when buying their insurance on-line include:

  • A 37 year old Builder, living in Lincolnshire with 5 years No Claims Bonus would pay a premium of £210 for fully comprehensive cover

  • A 34 year old Florist from Plymouth with full No Claims Bonus could pay as little as £200 for comprehensive van cover

  • A 30 year old Electrician living in Ipswich with full No Claims, would pay £290 for fully comprehensive cover

Chris Price, managing director at Gladiator Commercial, said, "We want to make the whole process of buying van insurance on-line a simple and straight forward experience for our customers. We still offer a full telephone service, offering a wide range of small business products, but for instant cover our website is ideal."
