If you need van insurance and are worried it will set you back a fair amount because you’re a young and inexperienced driver, you may be right. However, there are a number of things you can to do save on your premiums, which we’ve listed below.
Young drivers should be able to find van insurance. However, the cost of the cover may be a setback.
An insurer will have its own set of eligibility criteria for van insurance and this may or may not include different terms regarding age. For example, some insurers may stipulate that drivers under 25 should have held a driver’s licence for at least six months, or if a driver is older than 25 years of age, at least three months. As another example, some other insurers may have an age limit and stipulate that the driver of the van must be older than 18 years old.
Check the eligibility criteria of an insurer carefully to understand if it can offer you and your van cover before proceeding with the application.
Insurers will look at several factors when calculating van insurance premiums. These factors can include the level of cover required, the age of the driver and their driving history, where they live as well as the make and model of their van, how much it’s worth and what it’s used for.
