First-time Van Insurance

[Grace'sDad]

Hi all, I've been a company car driver with no claims for 9 years. I now have 0 yrs ncb now that I need to insure a van! Can anyone recommend insurance? I am 31 with 0 ncb and 3 points (sp50 - whoops!) It's only for an old Berlingo and the cheapest I can find is approx £450 3rd part F&T. Any recommendations? (sorry if this is posted in the wrong place!) Thanks...

i use my own car as the average family car can take 15m2 and if fully comp business cover except tools is standard

hope this helps

Try Budget insurance mate. I went with them on my old L reg Astra van and got it for about £300 i think with 2 years no claims and 6 points on my licence. I'll double check on the price.

I used these people for my 1st van this year :

I've got a citroen berlingo 1.9 d 2 dr, elegance. I tried all sorts of companies, ranging from 600 - 340 pounds.

They came up with 285 pounds fully comp, 150 excess, transfer pnc's from my family car, and free home start/break down & legal ins.

I thought it was a bargain, so I went with them.

Remember, you'll always pay more for your insurance if you use comparrison websites like confused etc.
My car worked out nearly £70 more when quoted through comparrison sites than going direct.

I use my family car "mondeo" for tiling as I already often have problems managing to park outside my own home with just the car, never mind having a van too, and I have pleanty of room for 20 sqm of tiles, all adhesives, grout and tools... just, lol

Thanks Dave but I'd need a letter backing my ncb claim from my company - they were NOT very happy about me leaving so I don't expect they'd be eager to help out!

 

[DHTiling]

never mind just a thought....good luck any way.............dave..

can youspeak direct to your old companies insurance company or an old pal who still works there perhaps. 9 years no claims is a lot to lose! Shame if you cant get it.
