Online Van Insurance Quote

If you are looking for advice on online van insurance quotes, you have come to the right place.

Here at Money Ideas we are proud to provide free and impartial top advice based on experience on pretty much any subject somewhat related to money making ideas or saving money – loosely speaking. This ranges from insurance, such as commercial insurance or temporary car insurance to cleaning supplies or dusting a room. Which incidentally can save you quite a bit of money in the short and long run.

Anyway, when it comes to online van insurance quotes what you want to do is obviously find the best insurance for you. But what does that actually mean, the best insurance?

Well it comes down to you really. What are you looking for? Just a cheap no frills cover for your vans or cheap cover yet effective and helpful customer service that genuinely informs you of all the options and most importantly go through the exact details of the small print to ensure you actually fully understand what is and what isn’t covered in your van insurance.

I can’t stress this enough and this is really the reason why I would classify this article under money ideas. The worst thing you can do is get some online van insurance quote, think it’s pretty cheap and will do.  You take it out at let’s say £200.00 a month. You think that it will cover any driver. Yet you did not actually check this nor was it very clear in the actual policy. I mean who bothers reading the small print right?

Well wrong. In fact, let’s say you have a foreign driver that is driving your van. He gets into an accident with another vehicle. Let’s say a good middle class car, such as an Audi. The door is damaged and it will cost about £3000 to replace. No problem – that’s why you took out the insurance right?  Well there is a problem, a very big problem. The insurance does not cover a driver with a foreign licence. So now not only did you waste your £200 a month (for how many years?) but on top of that you are now liable to pay the £3000 not mentioning the damage on your van! So the total cost could well exceed £5000! Simply for missing the small print or not fully clarifying the insurance policy. That hurts.

This is actually a real live example that happened to one of my work colleagues. Worse, the driver actually also got in trouble with the police for driving without a valid insurance….enough said, you get the point.

So the moral of the story is, get as many online van insurance quotes as possible, minimum of 3 but 5 or 10 is better, and spend some time researching the company to see if they are genuine, have proper sales rep that are interested in providing you with a long term service rather than a quick sign up and do absolutely go through the small print with them to ensure you fully understand what it covers.  You will obviously need to also decide what you want the insurance policy to cover compared to the relative cost of the insurance.

The easiest and fastest way of obtaining online van insurance quotes is through the paid links right here on Money Ideas or doing a search in Google for online van insurance quote. This will give a pretty good return. Bear in mind though that the insurance companies that advertise on Google tend to be well run, established and trusted businesses. Must be, otherwise how could they afford to advertise on Google? Also Google has to ensure to a degree that companies that advertise with them are legitimate, otherwise it hurts Google in the long run.

Caravan Insurance

There are typically two types of caravan, the touring caravan and the static caravan.

In regards to caravan insurance, these are considerably different in risk and hence require different caravan insurance policies to cover these.

A static caravan is generally a semi-permanent pitch on a caravan site, typically serviced with water, sewer and electricity in contrast to a touring caravan that is towed behind a vehicle and allows a traveller to travel much further through the use of camping and caravan sites.

The touring caravan is subject to the risks of the road including collisions with vehicles and accidents caused by side winds or incorrect loading. A static caravan however is exposed to risks from nature including flooding of the site and falling trees.

As with any type of insurance it is best to look around and find cheap online quotes for free. These can then be compared not only for price but also for suitability and comprehensiveness of cover.

There are many different caravan insurance website out there and the best way of finding them is by doing a simply search in google. As caravans are often used during peak holiday seasons, it may pay off to look for a quote out of season, for example in winter. Often insurance companies will have different rates for different periods.

Another good money saving tip is to only insure the caravan for the time period it will actually be on the road. For example, if you are only using the caravan once a year during the summer holidays, only take out temporary car insurance for that time period.

You may also be able to take out a multi car insurance that will cover both your day to day car and your caravan at the same time. It’s always best to check with your existing car insurance, especially if you already have several years worth of no claims bonuses.

How to Get the Best Temporary Car Insurance?

As we all know, there are hundreds if not thousands of different types of car insurance one can buy. One such type of insurance is a temporary car insurance. Why would one want to have temporary car insurance?

Let’s say you want to borrow your neighbour’s caravan for a 3 week holiday in the summer. Naturally, this would not be covered under your normal car insurance or it would seriously increase your insurance premium over several months or you would have to increase your insurance to a caravan insurance.

Other countries, such as Switzerland, will allow a friend to drive your car without any amendment to your car insurance policy. They will also allow you to have the same number plate for several cars, multi car insurance, as long as only one car is on the road at any one time.  This will allow you to have a supercar in the garage during the week and on the race track during the weekend.  This is not the case in the United Kingdom for example.

So how do we solve this? You guessed it, we would simply take out a temporary car insurance for the required period of time. With a bit of research this can work out very cheap and will benefit you in the long run, especially as a recurring customer as insurance companies offer all sorts of different reasons and bonuses for you to come back to them or to become a first time customer.

This is a topic I will be researching on this blog and I welcome any pointers, suggestions and comments that will help me go in the right direction to find in this case the best temporary car insurance. There will be different threads and posting on different type of insurances with the aim of providing comprehensive information, for free, on any type of insurance one can think of to anyone who may be interested in it.
