Catering Van Insurance Explained
Legal Requirement – Every catering van used on UK roads must have the appropriate motor insurance. The level of cover required depends on how your business operates and the type of vehicle you use.
Public & Products Liability Insurance – Many catering businesses choose to add Public & Products Liability Insurance to help protect against third-party injury or property damage arising from their business activities.
Employers' Liability Insurance – If you employ staff, Employers' Liability Insurance is generally a legal requirement in the UK.
Fleet Insurance – If your business operates two or more catering vehicles, Fleet Insurance could provide a more convenient way to insure them under a single policy while helping to reduce administration.
