Why choose Principal van insurance?

Van Insurance From Us

Whatever you drive, be it a Kangoo, Transit or Luton van, and whether you drive for business or pleasure, we can arrange van insurance that’s effective.

Through our extensive panel of leading UK insurers we can offer an impressively broad range of insurance.

This includes any driver van insurance and company van insurance, enabling us to cover everyone, from local tradespeople and businesses, to those of you who use your van to support your lifestyle or hobby.

Options include a range of commercial policies to cover carriage of goods for hire or reward – such as required by couriers and delivery businesses – carriage of own goods and haulage which is designed for those doing long distance point-to-point drops.

The policies we offer embrace everything from small vans (e.g. Astravan, Berlingo) Caddy, Partner, Transit Connect), mid-range standard and long wheelbase vans (e.g. Master, Sprinter, Transit, Vivaro) to 3.5 tonne trucks (Luton) and includes pick-up, flat bed and refrigerated vehicles.

For private users we offer a range of social, domestic and pleasure (SDP) policies with a choice of cover and benefits.

Because grey areas exist which could leave you exposed, our insurance team are on hand to determine whether you need SDP or one of the commercial van insurance options available.

With our expertise, market knowledge and access to the UK’s leading van insurers we’ll help you load up a quote!
