Vehicle Use & Van Insurance

It is very important to disclose to your van insurance company exactly what you are using your van for. Some uses will result in your vehicle being used in places or in a way that may make it more likely to be involved in a van insurance claim.

For example, a courier or parcel delivery driver is likely to be on the road all day and will do a lot of driving in built up areas and on motorways. There is therefore far more likelihood of their van being involved in a claim than that of a builder who drives to a site and parks up all day.
