My company is based in Dorset and I am the ‘Northern’ person. We have just tried to insure a new company van that I will be using for work and because it will be parked outside my house rather than our northern ‘office’ I am getting quoted £1250 form Direct Line and Aviva. We have 1 other van we use and no accidents convictions etc.

A new Berlingo, doing no more than 20k a year with 2 named drivers. 2 hours + of my life has drifted away this morning and then I get knocked of my seat by ridiculous numbers like that.

Who is anybody else using?

Have a run through compare the market and go compare, both have specific sections for van insurance and it might bring up some more options.

I only use my van for personal, but Brentacre beat the online comparison sites by a decent amount.

try liverpool victoria and hasting direct, about 500 quids a year

try churchill. they seemed totally unfazed when i switched my car to a van insured for both personal and work
