Title: fitting van seats and insurance
Post by: Erithwc on July 28, 2011, 10:27:39 am

be looking at crew vans but good ones are hard to find

Has anyone had seats fitted in a normal van to make it a crew van if so did the insureance go up much  ???

Just trying to find out what the difference in insurance prices are for a factory fitted crew van and a normal van converted to a crew van


thanks paul

I looked into this and if you want to do it properly and legally, you have to have an independent inspectors report and show this to the insurance company.  ???

I am sorry mate but that is wrong because i have fitted seat in the back of a van before and the insurance said that was fine but then again some insurance company's do differ. i think its only a problem if you fit to many seats i had 3 in the front and 2 in the back and had no problem at all.

I fitted a double seat out of a transit into the back of my peugeot expert.

I had it done at a local gargae - they drilled through the floor, bolted and plated it up.

Insurance did class it as a modification, dont know how much extra it cost as it was my first insurance.
