Van insurance time again
« on: January 24, 2025, 04:43:30 pm »

Just had my renewal quote  - 18% increase on last year. :o

Was thinking - what if I put all my prices up
18%
Somehow I don’t think it would wash with many.

Anyhow. Anyone had success with renewal quotes. Yes I have declared I carry a tank as a modification.

We've been with A-Plan which is now Howdens for 15 plus years . I've just renewed our Dispatch at a cost of £460 I did try others including Alexander Swann but they couldn't get anywhere near it.

That is quite a bit cheaper than mine.
I was quoted 575 by Adrian Flux.

Shows it is worth shopping around.

Thanks

What does 18% increase in insurance put on your annual costs? £100.00?

Why are you concerned about that? It’s 40p a day.

Ok Slacky
Put 18% on all your prices - see what happens.

Last year's renewal was up from £490 to £560.
I ran quotes on three of the comparison sites and the best price I found was again £490.

I went back to my original company and asked them if they could match it and they did.

Works out around £250 for each truck.

You have to swap your insurance every year to get the best deal or get a cheaper quote and go back to your original insurer and see if they'll match it or beat it......

It's how insurance works.....

My prediction is you won't be doing any cleaning in Canada as a form of self employment. You'll be going live on the Comedy circuit.
