Number Of Drivers and Van Insurance

The number of drivers on your insurance policy can affect your price greatly.

For example, some van insurers may argue that the more drivers that are named on your policy, then potentially the more hours of the day the vehicle could be on the road. If you think of a delivery firm, they could conceivably have a vehicle on the road 24hrs a day by operating three eight hour shifts.

On the other hand, some van insurers may say that if you have two drivers on a policy, then they are able to share driving duties and as such will be more rested and awake at the wheel. This may well reduce the risk of you having a claim.
