The Van is not bin used for commercial use more like a car/converted camper no more than 5000miles a year TPF&T its worth no more than £800 I've had a quote from Adrian Flux of £270 is this good or should I try another company

Cheers

Direct Line quoted me & the misses TPF&T for private use only, 1600 MK2 panal van £220.
If you told Adrian Flux you are converting to a camper, I'd say that was not bad.

Try this lot :)

http://www.directchoice.co.uk

My 1985 1.6 Transit 100 Pannel van is insured for commercial use (im a general builder/electrician) fully comprehensive with 25,000 miles a year for just £230 :)

The Policy is held with Equity Red Star IIRC

I started the policy 18 months ago with no NCB, and it was only £280 then ! :shock:

Hmmm just been quoted £1038.74 by them :evil:
I'm paying £650 with CIS currently and I thought I was being ripped off.
Bah!

i find direct choice very good, although internet price seems to bear no relation to price when you call them

Oh OK I'll give them a ring then. :)

I'm sure I'm paying too much. I only need third TPFT and I only use the van for private use. I don't do many miles either. I recon the van isprobably worth around £2500, at least that's waht I have it insured for. I'm 29 and have four years no claims. What does anyone else think I should be paying?

26, 5 years ncb, girlfriend named driver (shes 24) s reg 100 lwb, TPFT about 320 ish, when you ask for a quote, tell em you use the van for doing your house up, fishing camping etc direct choice have given me a comical vehicle policy so i am now loads happier about carting bikes etc about than when i had a tesco policy which was just SDC & P. good luck
