its a bit dear isnt it ?

Im buying a vauxhall combo 1.7 cdti van. Obviously i need to insure it.

Buying it new or very near new so want fully comp.

im 23 - 2 years NCB living in AB21 and cant get it below 800 quid - thats on a social(no commuting) policy - is that the going rate for a small van when young ? can insure a brand new corsa similar spec for 450 FC so seems craaazy

I'm 26 driving a (v beautiful) Orange Transit..... got mine with Gladiator. Comes in at around £400 fully comp with £3000 tool cover.

Shop around then barter with them over the phone, you'll find they try to price match your 'made up' quotes 🙂

dont worry drac i have - seems to make litle diffference - those whos quote non comercial changes are a silly price anyway

Some even ask how many years no claims i have on a van policy - thats 0 - on top of how many general no claims you have ...2 years

will phone some up them up and see what i get.

Trail rat try National farmers union and co-operative insurance services. You'll need to do both on the phone but they both offer private car policies with vans which tends to help a lot. Let me know what they come up with. NFU would also match the no claims I had for my car as an introductory discount (that they never got rid of over the years).
