Mine came through but in the main wording it says no l on longer covers business use. 

There wording on their site is no longer very clear and deep down in their new Terms they don't cover commercial use. 

They seem to be following the RAC and AA stance and are getting more tight with commercial use.

I guess we won't know if they will cover us unless we actually need to call them out.   

It really does take away the term 'peace of mind'

Update... The solution is now to only use the Business Fleet cover for Greenflag.

I did try to warn of this sometime back but got the usual Clean it Up responses!

Yea you were absolutely correct.  Things have changed over the last few months by the looks of things.

It's been this way for a lot longer than a few months, I changed from green flag a couple of renewals ago for this reason. If you've paid out for cover in that time I would seriously put in a grievance complaint and try and get some money back ad you've been paying for nothing. Totally dishonest of them to not  to advise you of his. No doubt they put the ball back into your court and say it's up to you to check small print but it's them that's changed the cover.

My post was a couple of years or so back. Certainly a couple of renewals back.

I’m actually back with the AA  this year with  business cover for both vans as the price wasn’t too bad imo. I didn’t really want one that was subbed out not unless it was much much cheaper.

I've gone with Alexander Swan with both vans & car and have RAC cover for all. cancelled lifetime membership with AA last year as they would no longer cover vans and wanted extortionate amount for separate van cover. Just renewed insurance with AS also.

It's on the Green Flag website they cover vans up to 4000kg with load?
It is the business fleet option your looking at?

A Swann said they could no longer cover me with tank in van........AA would no longer cover van.

Our vans are with green flag I renewed in December and it states in the policy commercial vehicle cover we have only ever called them out twice but very quick response .

[The Jester of Wibbly]

They must be changing them slowly then.  They made it clear on the new renewal and terms that they no longer cover and vehicles that are used for making money.

Vans are still covered if being used for personal use.

They said to call them for a personalised quote to cover commercial use.

I get 12 months roadside assistance from the AA when I get my van serviced at the local Ford dealership. Will be interesting to see if this is still the case at my next service?

I renewed mine mid  December when the insurance was due on them, been with green flag for  years , and it states commercial vehicles they know it’s business use only but will give them a call tomorrow to double check .

Same with me, been with them many years and all was fine until now.  You should be fine until your next renewal though, but let us know how your call goes.  Best of luck buddy.

This is what I did and the woman said i was covered.
I'm sure she said only vans with sign writing are covered but i could be wrong

Renewal note and terms paragraph that had me concerned.  I appreciate they gave examples but nothing about what could be included.  Any commercial vehicle could fall into those statements if the law got involved.  Once again, it's insurance that protects the insurers and not the policy holder.   Nothing is deliberately very clear these days.

You aren’t a taxi or delivering parcels so don’t see a problem,

As long as your on the business fleet policy you'll be fine.....ring then up and give them your details, I found them very helpful on the phone, it was nice to actually get through to speak someone for a change 

[The Jester of Wibbly]

Yea Splash.  I did mention that in the post, but those are just examples.   The renewal made it clear, 'not covered for business use'.  That would get us stuck.

SB thanks for that.  I didn't go for fleet cover as I thought that was going to be expensive opting for upto 50 vehicles.

I've just got a quote for business fleet and later on in the process asked how many vehicles?  So for just one the price was not too bad tbf.  So should be okay.

That's the problem then, I thought it was going to be big bucks too but was surprised with the quote.
