had my renewal claim for my van through the last day there, ITS NEARLY DOUBLED!!!!! almost collapsed when i read it, last year, £706.54, this year £1376!!!
Apparently its because aviva who underwrite my post office insurance wouldnt quote so thats next best. have managed to get £814 from Adrian flux.
has anyone got any ideas for good companys that dont dealwith comparison sites?
I'm 22, van worth about 1400, Personal use, 3points (2 and half years old), at fault claim (2years old).
All ideas appreciated. :)

I make the assumption this is for a transit connect ? if so vans are more expensive to insure than cars, why do you have a van ? if it's because of a trade then look for specific trade insurance which also covers SD&P.

Lol, yeah you would be correct, vans main use is mainly transport, for me, my own tools, sheepdog, and a million and one other things. at the moment inside it resembles a landfill site.

Hi there,
I'm new here :)
I've been knocking about on the forum for a bit and saw this, thought I might be able to help.
My dad is with Aviva and he pays through his nose for it!
My friend is a Landscape gardener and he's with http://www.ivaninsurance.co.uk.
He doesn't have regular work on atm and manages to pay for his insurance, I think they're prettycheap.
Hope this is helpfull :)
