Get courier goods in transit insurance, cover for 12 months upto value of £10,000 is about £250 per year

Would make sure you are covered by this before buying as you are not a courier  and the insurance may be void in an accident - I think a company called Allied insurance covers equipment in vans - try shelly.davies@alliedinsurance.co.uk

I've just received quotes from them.  It's a tough call between that and my current insurer.  My current insurer doesn't offer the WFP van and is a tiny (negligible) bit more expensive.  However, my current insurer's excess is lower and they throw in RAC cover (which has been very useful a couple of times).  If my van was pranged, I suppose I could always hire a smaller van and go the barrels/backpack route for a while.  Not ideal but manageable.
I'm not bothered about the water being hot.
Decisions, decisions.
I need to decide in the next few days.
Public liability is nearly up too.
Expensive time of year this.
