Are you driving with the right van insurance cover?

Submitted by CT-Matketing

If you’ve just taken possession of a new van or are about to acquire one you will be considering your insurance options and looking closely at the most cost effective way to cover it. Choosing the right van insurance is vital in more ways than one. Not only do you need to select insurance cover appropriate to your needs, you also need to be confident that you are not paying too much for it.

There are literally thousands of insurance options out there in the market place so making sure you have the cover that best matches your requirements is an important consideration.

Here are some of the most important issues that you may want to address as you try to home in on the ideal van insurance product.

1. Your range of cover is also an important consideration, although different companies' policies vary, there are essentially three main types of insurance cover: Third party, third party fire and theft & comprehensive cover, which can offer protection for accidental damage, theft, fire damage as well as liability towards third parties. Does the value of your van warrant comprehensive cover? Can you afford not to have it?

2. Another consideration is where to source your insurance policy? The Internet is a great resource when it comes to finding the perfect insurance policy. Not only should you look at some of the more well-known and reputable names in the insurance industry but there are also an increasing amount of comparison sites that will check out deals across companies.

3. Make sure you provide the correct information. Don’t let a technicality, oversight or simple error cause a delay or failed payout should you need to make a claim. Get things right the first time. If there are any terms or expressions that you don’t fully understand be sure to ask for clarification. Terms such as indemnity, excess, predicted no claims bonus and insurable interest excess can confuse the most seasoned of drivers.

It’s worth having a good look around and not committing to the first insurance company you come across or the first insurance policy that you are offered. Good luck.
