What You Need to Know About Insuring a Fleet of Vans

If you rely on van transportation for your business, then you need to make sure that your vehicles are properly maintained and protected. Owning more than one vehicle and regularly completing long journeys can open your business up to unexpected costs, where it’s important to choose the right insurance policy to cover all your assets

For van fleet owners, it is vital that your insurance fits the scale of your business, where regular van insurance policies may not be the best option for multiple vehicles. Alternatively, businesses can choose a van fleet insurance policy, which is designed to cover two or more vehicles under a single contract.

Read on to find out more about insuring a fleet of vans, with an insight into the policy and cover options available.

Why Choose Fleet Van Insurance

A fleet insurance policy allows businesses to cover different makes and models of vehicles all under the same agreement. This simplifies the insurance process, where all vans in the fleet will have a single insurance renewal date and a consistent level of policy cover.

In addition to simplicity, fleet insurance typically works out cheaper than taking out separate policies for each vehicle, where discounts are available for multi-van clients.

Types Of Fleet Insurance

As with regular insurance, there are lots of different cover types to choose from if you’re looking to insure a fleet of vans . These can include:

Third-Party Van Insurance – which covers van owners for damage caused to other people, as well as third party vehicles and properties

Third Party, Fire & Theft Van Insurance – where this policy covers the same as the one above, with additional cover for costs inflicted by fire or acts of theft.

Comprehensive Cover – this is a more thorough and therefore pricier fleet insurance option, which covers vehicle owners for the costs listed above, as well as further damages, which can extend to:

  • Vandalism and other damages

  • Motor legal protection

  • Breakdown cover

  • Personal accident and injury cover

  • Courtesy or rental car cover

Contents Insurance For Fleet Vehicles

Some insurance policies also extend to contents and tool cover, which is especially important for commercial vehicles that are transporting valuable goods. The main types of commercial fleet policies consist of:

Haulage & Courier – for businesses transporting goods and equipment that belong to a third party

Carrying Own Goods – for businesses that wish to protect their own tools and equipment under their insurance policy

"Found these guys online and was a little bit wary to buy a new van from someone I hadn't heard of. From the off, the first phone call was professional and gave me all the information that I needed, Theo was great, helpful and I proceeded to order my new van, Paige sorted the paperwork quickly and efficiently and within 10 days I had my new van delivered! The price was very competitive and all parts of the transaction were easy and hassle free, wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys, Thank you so much for a really good experience."

"I was looking for a good deal on a van online and then came across Van away, at first I was a bit sceptical but later went ahead and bought a Peugeot boxer on an unbeatable price online. The sell team were fantastic all the way and very helpful to say the least. I will highly recommend Van away to anybody that's looking for a van of any kind. Thanks Van Away for your first class service and I will be looking forward to a future deal."

"Just purchased a 2nd van through Vanaways to add to our company fleet. Steve Catley was helpful, communicative and informative all the way through the process. We would definitely use Vanaways again, and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Paige was outstanding in her responsiveness to what presented as a serious problem for our company. The finance company used by her company caused unnecessary and significant delays in the delivery of our van - the pain of which was mitigated somewhat by Paige's proactive communication, informative and realistic communication and very professional demeanour. I'd recommend her and she meant our view of Vanaways was overall positive."
