Van insurance. What are you paying?

[midiman]

Hi,

What is going on with Van Insurance?

I can't get anything below £1200 TPFT for commercial purposes.

The only thing I can find is around £400 TPFT for SD&P. This allows me to keep my Van for myself.

But I can't use it to do any form of paid work.

I'm nearly 38 and have 14yrs NCB on my car but 0 on van.

I can get cheaper insurance (fully comp) on a £80k Porsche GT3!!!

WTF Is going on with Vans?

I just insured my van(use it for tip runs etc cos my house is an ongoing project) SD&P for £128 Fully Comp? 10 years older but similar NCB?

I couldn't find SD&P for anything less than £400.

What company did you go through?

Thanks

Octagon Insurance. - Most of my NCB was earnt in cars, only last 4 yrs in a van. I didn't realise there was a difference?!

Also mine is a business use policy, maybe thats why? - I have no idea how it works, i'm convinced it's just a random number sometimes.

I just tried with Octagon. They want £701 for TPFT and they are unable to quote for fully comp.

That's with putting down Carriage of Own Goods.

I pay 270, I'm 43, covered for business use, but I have 10 years no claims.

My employer was looking to get me on the vans, I'm 20. 1.3cdi combo £7000! And they wonder why there's so few apprentices about...

7k is more than the van was brand new!

On the flip side I can insure my 2.4 200bhp fiat for £700 with no claims!
