There are hundreds of thousands of business van owners who would be lost without their wheels, relying heavily on them for transporting people and tools.You will be told by any business van owner, just how important it is that their vans are working properly and on are on the road. Most vehicle owners can rely on basic insurance to cover them but it is not so straight forward for tradesmen.They need to ensure that multiple items have cover, regardless of whether they have purchased a van outright or are using van leasing.

Van Insurance. All vehicles on the road need to have a certain level of insurance to protect other road users and their vehicles. This means that their policy will pay out if they cause any damage to other road users or their vehicles.  They may also want to take out more extensive insurance to cover them from fire, theft and damage to their vehicle.

Contents Insurance. A large proportion of van owners keep valuable tools and equipment in their vehicles, often overnight.  Let’s say for example someone has a Peugeot van leasing deal and carries valuable items in their van. The standard insurance or even leasing insurance will often not cover the contents, and so the van owner will not be protected against damage or theft of these items, potentially meaning they lose a lot of money.

Work Insurance. Something that often gets overlooked when people take out insurance on their van is the potential loss of earnings if the van is out of action. This can actually often be added into someones business insurance cover, but you’ll find that most insurance companies require to you specify that you rely on your vehicle for work.  Fail to do this and you could find yourself having to survive on very little money until you get your wheels back.
