Van Insurance advice

[BIGROG]

Hi Guys and Galls.

Can anyone help me, it has been some time since I have owned a van and I am wondering about van insurance these days, I want to use a van as my car and for days away like a "dayvan". I do intend to customise the inside with a bed ect for weekenders but not make it a camper.

Is it hard to find an insurance company that will insure a van for private use, will I be asked any questions about its uses and what should I say or rather avoid saying that may get me refused insurance, I would be happy to have a limited milage policy, I have a clean licence and am over 50 years old. Any advice, recomendations or ideas would be most welcome, Many thanks.

Hello there from what some people have said you need to try Adrian flux (i think that's how you spell his surname) what do you do for a living if you don't mind me asking.

If your just toing and froing from a permanent place of work, but not carrying tools you should be able to get private insurance (with a bit of hastle) but if your adding extra passenger seats and fitting a cooker you will have bother, here's a link for you http://www.adrianflux.co.uk/?rw.cm=GOOG ... 3godLHXxbg give him a call and tell him what your planning and see what he comes up with

Thanks Olly.

I have used Flux in the past to insure yanks and hybrid land-rovers, they will cover most things but at a price, then again if all else fails it's worth the extra

I have never used them myself, got the impression he was supposed to be competitive from some of the posts on here that's all, regarding the insurance for my van i used to be self employed but have kept up the commercial insurance as it was easier but not sure as to how the price compares as mines a 350.

Yea I do have some options I was told the Farmers union will do a good deal if you can get it but I think the first thing is to be honest and have a ring round once I get a van, I will want to carry my bike on the odd trip but I will avoid saying that because they will think I am into the race scene and that always carries a loading on motor insurance.

Will be dead easy to get social/domestic/pleasure cover, most of the big car insurers will quote you.
The hard bit is trying to get hire & reward insurance AND being 21

I'm going to bump the tread up.

After burying his mother nine months earlier, a client of the local mortuary finally had enough money to purchase the expensive coffin he'd originally wanted. So we exhumed the body and transferred his deceased mother into the new steel casket. "What's so special about this coffin?" I asked the funeral director. He replied, "It has a lifetime warranty."

I'm struggling to find insurance myself.
I'm 39, 5 years no claims etc... BUT, my van is a 160 with a load of seats in it. It used to be a minibus for the NHS but I want it as my car. I want 4 seats and the rest out of it but the companies are saying I'm modifying it and wont cover me.
The seats are the type that move and fix in a track so I cant figure out how I'm modding it if the seats are removable anyway.
I'l give farmers union and flux a try but are there any other decent companies to try?
