- Open to adults with a minimum age of 17 or over
Cons
- Premium from £267 is high next to the van insurance median of €37.17

Who it suits
- Van owners who want several quotes compared in one place
- Drivers who only need van cover and nothing wider

Frequently asked questions
What does van insurance cost through this site?+
Van cover is advertised from £267. For context, the median starting premium across the van insurance ranking is €37.17, with most brands falling between €8.45 and €157.45. Your own price depends on the vehicle, driver and cover level.
Is The Van Insurer an insurer or a broker?+
It is a comparison site rather than the insurer itself, so the policy is underwritten by a separate van insurer. The site sits with the Financial Conduct Authority as an appointed representative of Vast Visibility Limited, which means the arrangement is regulated in Great Britain.
Can I get monthly payments instead of one annual bill?+
Monthly plans are the norm in this market, with 86.7% of ranked brands offering them. Whether an instalment option applies to a particular van quote depends on the insurer it comes from, so check at the quote stage.
What kinds of cover can I buy here?+
The cover on offer is van insurance and nothing wider, with van listing van alone. If you need a car, home, travel or pet policy alongside it, you will have to look elsewhere, and a broader provider such as Good Sam Insurance Agency covers those in auto, home and renters.
Who can buy van cover through this site?+
Quotes are available from a minimum age of 17 or over, so younger drivers cannot be covered. The site is based in the United Kingdom and serves the British market, with the legal entity behind it listed as ICE Internet Comparison Experts Ltd.
How do I get in touch after taking a policy?+
Contact runs through phone and email, so a phone call or an email will reach the team. Phone is also the most common channel among ranked van insurance brands at 86.1%, while a help centre appears on 83.3% of them.
How does this site compare with the wider van insurance market?+
Van is the only insurance type here, with van showing a single line, whereas the average ranked brand covers van on 100% of listings and adds auto on 91.7%. Narrow focus is the trade-off against a general broker.
Can I compare a van quote with a direct insurer?+
Yes, and it is worth doing. A direct insurer such as Euroasia Insurance quotes from UZS 60,000, which can be set against the £267 starting point here. The ranking covers 36 brands, so there is room to check a spread of prices.
