Van Insurance

[Daz]

I got 5 years no claims as a gesture of goodwill. I used to have a company car and, therefore, told the insurance company that I had no proof of NCB, so they offered 5 years no claims discount from day one on my van.

I guess it depends how long you want to spend phoning companies and grovelling......

I went through these guys:
Commercial Vehicle Direct - Low Cost Van Insurance came out cheapest with best features.

I simply asked the person on the phone if they could take into account 5 years claim free as a company car driver and they gave me 5 yrs NCB as a start off without any proof!

Can't transfer it away from them though, although now I am in my 2nd year....

Second GDs recommendation. I was with Commercial Vehicle Direct for a while.

At the time they were the only ones who would take me on as the van I had was for private use for sensible money:huh2:. IIRC they took my no claims into account but I was keeping the car as well so I didn't actually transfer it.

I kept that van for around 2.5 years, when I started trading I just let them know and it made no difference to the premium at all.

I am now with More Than van insurance.

If you do use More Than, go via Quidco.com. You'll get cashback for taking out a policy. Both our cars are insured with Privalage via Quidco.com and we got £100 cashback for one and £70 for the other. Next year we will most likely go via Quidco again, parhaps to a different insurer and claim more cashback - but everyone on here already thinks I'm tight:yes:.
