Why not shop around for van insurance? Take time online. After all, you’re not meeting a delivery deadline! Like insurance for cars, van insurers account for similar factors such as the vehicle make and model, and driver's age and experience.

Other things that may affect van insurance premiums include the location of where the van is parked overnight, and the environment where the van is driven.

Before you start to compare van insurance, there are several aspects insurers consider to offer lower cost premiums such as:

• Approved security devices such as immobilisers and alarms fitted to vans could reduce the cost of insurance
• Vans parked off road or in a secure garage generally qualify for lower premiums
• Van owners can think about getting a suitable model with a weight and size to match its workload. An oversize van could attract higher insurance.

No claims bonuses or discounts are a typical way to drive down van insurance. Some people like to transfer their car insurance to their van insurance. There is the opportunity to check with the insurer to see if this is possible. A no claims bonus or discount can be proof of a claims–free driving record which may be considered to be transferable by a chosen provider.
