Top tips for choosing van insurance

Van insurance

If you’re self-employed or a tradesperson, it’s likely a van is an essential part of your day-to-day business. Running a van doesn’t often come cheap, so it could account for a large part of your expenditure. 

Figures show rising claim costs are increasing van insurance premiums, which are now £1,344 per year on average. To help you save on avoidable costs, Moneybarn has put together some top tips to consider when choosing van insurance.
