Wondering what are the types of van fleet insurance? Read on to find out what it, its uses and which is best for you.

What is van fleet insurance?

Fleet insurance is when a business has multiple vans that needs coverage. The insurance company will carry out a single policy tailored to the business needs, therefore making it easy for the business to handle a large fleet.

In addition, the business benefits from a reduced admin as there is only one renewal date and saves on costs from receiving a bulk discount.

Moreover, the business can insure all drivers on every van. This is called ‘any driver policy’ and it enables businesses to run efficiently without the worry of insuring each driver individually on different vans.

What does it cover?

Comprehensive

• Maximum level of cover
• Covers damage to your own vehicle and third party (fault or non fault accident)
• Most expensive cover
• Vans that are used often in a business should opt for this.
