Choosing the right van insurance

There are 3 main levels of van insurance. We compare prices for all of them so you can find the deal that suits you.

Third-party only

The most basic cover, it protects other people and their property, not your van.

Third-party, fire and theft

Covers everything third-party does, plus your van if it’s stolen or damaged by fire.

Comprehensive

Covers you, your van, and others. Often the best value, comprehensive doesn’t always mean expensive.

Want more protection? We’ll show you what optional extras you can buy when you compare.

Here are the most common add-ons:

Breakdown cover

Help if your van breaks down at the roadside or at home

Courtesy van cover

A replacement van while yours is being repaired.

Windscreen cover

Covers repair or replacement of your van’s windows.

Legal expenses cover

Help with solicitor’s fees if you’re in an accident that wasn’t your fault.

Driving abroad cover

Protection for driving your van in Europe (usually limited to 90 days).

Personal effects cover

Cover for tools or valuables stored securely in your van.

Tips to save money on your van insurance

At Confused.com, we help you compare prices from 60 providers - so you can find your best deal. Here are more ways to keep costs down:

Pay annually

Paying monthly usually costs more. If you can, paying for the year upfront could save you money.

Don't auto-renew

Compare with us to see if you could pay less at renewal.

Increase voluntary excess

If you’re happy to pay a bit more towards any claim, you could get a cheaper quote.

Add a named driver

Adding someone with a clean driving record could lower your price. But avoid younger or high-risk drivers.

Use a dash cam

Some insurers offer discounts if you have one fitted.

Try a black box policy

Telematics policies track your driving and could help bring the cost down.

Other types of vans to insure

We don’t just compare standard van insurance. We can help you find the right cover for:


Campervan insurance

If you plan on driving your campervan, you'll always need a specific caravan insurance policy before you get out on the open road.

Modified van insurance

Modified van insurance is similar to standard van insurance and covers most of the same things. But if you've modified your van in any way, your van insurance policy should reflect this.

Motorhome insurance

Insuring your motorhome is a legal requirement, the only exception is if your motorhome is permanently off the road.

Find the right van insurance for your business, at the right price

We don’t just compare standard van insurance. We compare other types too, so you can find the right cover at the best price.

Fleet insurance

Covers two or more business vehicles under one policy.

Temporary van insurance

Short-term cover for between 1 hour and 28 days.

Truck insurance

For trucks and HGVs, this is what you need to get on the road legally.

Courier insurance

For hire and reward work, this is essential for couriers and delivery drivers.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get black box insurance for my van?

Yes, we can help you compare black box (telematics) van policies to see if you could save.

Can I transfer my car’s no-claims bonus to my van?

In many cases, yes, but it depends on the insurer. We’ll help you see your options when you compare.

Can I add other drivers to my van insurance policy?

Yes, most insurers let you add named drivers to your van policy. This can be a good way to share the driving or even reduce your costs, especially if the added driver has a clean record. Just be mindful: adding younger drivers or those with points on their licence could increase how much you pay.
