Driving a van for business purposes requires commercial vehicle insurance, not personal car insurance.

Vehicle & Equipment Protection
Your specialised cleaning equipment is valuable and needs its own coverage to protect it from damage, theft, or loss.

Ice Cream Van Insurance with UK Sure
Many ice cream vendors operate seasonally especially in the UK, where the weather can be unpredictable. Some insurers offer seasonal insurance or part-time cover, so you’re not paying full whack for months you’re not trading. It’s always worth asking about flexible options, especially if you only operate between spring and early autumn.โ
UK Sure offers specialist insurance policies designed to protect vehicles with custom conversions and modifications.โโโโโ
