Van Insurance explained
Business or Private Use – The type of insurance you need depends on how your van is used. Personal policies are suitable for social and domestic use, while business use requires Commercial Van Insurance.
Own Goods Insurance – If you transport your own tools, equipment or stock as part of your business, you'll typically need Business Van Insurance with Own Goods use.
Hire & Reward Insurance – If you deliver parcels or goods belonging to other people in return for payment, you'll need Hire & Reward Insurance rather than standard Business Van Insurance.
Fleet Insurance – Businesses operating two or more vehicles may benefit from Fleet Insurance, offering one policy to cover multiple vehicles and helping reduce administration.

Understanding Van Insurance
Van Insurance provides protection for vehicles used for private, business or commercial purposes. Whether you're a tradesperson, business owner, self-employed professional or operate a specialist vehicle, the right policy helps protect your van against accidents, theft, fire and other insured risks while supporting the way you use your vehicle.
Business Van Insurance
Business Van Insurance is designed for people who use their van for work. Whether you're travelling between job sites, carrying tools and equipment, transporting your own goods or visiting customers, the correct level of cover helps protect your vehicle while it's being used for business purposes.
If your business involves delivering goods for payment on behalf of other people, you'll usually require Hire & Reward Insurance, as standard Business Van Insurance does not normally include this type of use.
Private Van Insurance
If you only use your van for personal journeys, leisure activities or social and domestic purposes, Private Van Insurance may be the most suitable option. Choosing the correct type of cover helps ensure your policy matches how your vehicle is used and avoids gaps in protection.
