Title: Van Insurance
Post by: jay moley on September 03, 2024, 12:28:07 pm

Can someone recommend companies that insure vans with a water tank?

Mine is just held in place by a ratchet.

Thanks

I'm with Aplan which is now called Howden Insurance since I began in 2018 and find them great even when I had to claim my liability insurance with them.

Aplan been with for years now, they always seem to be cheapest, they are just a broker so I tried to go with same company without Aplan, was more expensive, need more competition out there

Gladiator - They're a broker who doesn't work on the basis of yes/ no answers and has so far been able to find a company for the actual cover I need and not the cover that everyone just tried to sell me. I've been with them for around 10 years and found them very good.

My tank just sits in the back of my pickup.  Cover includes mods and off road use too.

Just a query as it’s almost time for my renewal as well.
I have always had social, domestic and business.
Reading the finer print it’s in connection with business to one place of work.
Wondering if we should have commercial travelling to multiple places of work?

I used Gladiator once. The excess was horrendous.

That’s OTT mate, don’t even worry about that.

I just checked mine. Seemed pretty reasonable.
