What types of van are covered?
Our van insurance only covers standard vans and pick-ups. Other types of van (such as mobile snack bars or catering units, and motor homes or camper vans) can’t be insured under this policy.
Can I insure multiple vans for my business?
Yes. Our van insurance policy is only able to cover one vehicle at a time, but you are able to buy separate policies for each of your vehicles. You’ll be able to see and manage all of them easily within your secure online account space.
Though we can’t cover all your vans on one policy, we may be able to offer a multi-vehicle discount on any additional policies you take out with us. Please note, this is only available offline, so please get in touch with us and an advisor will be able to help.
We may also be able to mirror any no claims discount you’re earning on your current van to a new van you buy. Just let us know the details of your other vehicle when arranging a quote and we’ll work out the rest.
Are there any optional extras available?
We have a few optional for optional extras that you can choose to add onto your van insurance policy. Take a look below to see what we can offer.
Protect your No Claims Discount
If you have years of no claims behind you, why lose your discount just because you're unlucky enough to make a one-off claim?
By protecting your no claims discount, you’ll be able to make a claim on your van insurance without losing the discount you’ve built up.
Legal assistance cover
If you’re in an accident that’s not your fault, we’ll give you up to £100,000 legal expenses cover to help you claim compensation for ‘uninsured losses’. That means any losses that aren’t covered by your policy, like your policy excess, personal injury, loss of income or damage to property that was in your van.
Legal assistance will also cover your legal costs if you’re prosecuted for an offence related to owning or using your van – and give you access to confidential legal advice, 24/7.
Breakdown cover
If your van ever lets you down, it’s good to know that someone will be there to pick you up and get you back on the road.
And with three options available, you can choose what level of cover is right for you. Get a quote now and choose from AXA Roadside, AXA Rescue, or our most extensive cover, AXA Rescue and HomeStart.
Trailer cover
As standard, our van insurance gives you the minimum cover you need to legally tow a trailer while it’s attached to your van. But what if your trailer’s damaged, lost or stolen?
For a small additional cost, we’ll increase your cover to insure you for loss or damage to a trailer attached to your van, as long as it’s worth less than £5000.
