- Multi van insurance is available to purchase at three levels. If you only need the bare minimum cover for a fleet of vans, you should purchase “third party only” protection. This policy will cover you against claims by third parties only. Damages or losses to your vehicles or drivers are not provided for under this cover.
- You can also go for “third party fire and theft” cover. Like the name suggests, the cover offers protection for losses that you may incur when your minivan is stolen or damaged in a fire. This is a mid-range cover and costs more than the “third party only” option.
- The most expensive multi van insurance that you may purchase is fully comprehensive. This cover offers protection for the liabilities mentioned above. Apart from this the cover allows you to claim for any injuries sustained or damages to your property. Normally this cover will come with a larger excess than both the “third party” and “third party fire and theft” packages. If you offer to increase the excess the insurer will normally agree to a lower premium.

Underwriters group vans into categories based on their exposure to risk in terms of you making a claim and the size of the claim. This is based on statistical information of the replacement, repair and parts costs. Use this to your advantage and select vans from categories that fall into the lower categories. The categories range from 1 to 20 , 1 being the least expensive to insure.
How to lower the costs
Many factors go into deciding the premium that you will pay. Some of these such as post code are out of your control. However action can be taken to reduce the costs of insurnce, some that we have previously mentioned and some new ones that we have listed below.
- Are your drivers over 25 with a good no claims history? If the answer is yes this will also be rewarded by way of slightly reduced costs.
- Driver metrics measured by a so called black box device can be used to both improve your drivers, but also to show to the broker that you pose less of a risk as a result.
- Can you get by with named drivers only as opposed to any driver ?
- Do not include policy items that you do not need.
- Can you improve on security, secure overnight parking? Fitting an industry approved tracking device? These will also help lower your final quote.
- Being responsible for a higher excess amount enables the broker to lower their monetary risk and if negotiated correctly will lead to discount on your normal premium costs.
It is not only the young or under 25 drivers that will inflate your multi van insurance premium. Drivers that have a poor history of driving including driving related convictions can adversly impact your insurance premium. If possible use this knowledge to your advantage and employ only drivers that have a clean licence and a good history of no claims.
