If you want to be ripped off for van insurance, come to Ireland.
It's a scandal here, My premium seems to rise 30 to 40% every year! And I'm 55 without an accident for 23 years (which happened when I was in the UK).
Also, they are wanting vehicles over 10 years old off the road, hence they are hammering owners of vehicles of this age. Some insurance companies are refusing to quote for older vehicles too. Many people (if they are insured at all) will have premiums far outweighing the value of their vehicle.
