Did you know we can help with Van Hire Excess Insurance too?

Van rental can be the perfect solution when you need to transport larger or more items than usual. Maybe you need to move a sofa, are helping out at a charity event or perhaps you are moving home? If your child is off to university and they want to take their entire bedroom contents with them, hiring a van can make the whole process a good deal easier and less stressful!

Van hire excess insurance starts from under £7 per day

Often people hiring vans are not used to driving such a large vehicle, and not being able to see out of a rear window can sometimes make reversing trickier. It is often when we are driving an unfamiliar vehicle that we are more likely to cause damage – whether that is a scrape to the side or damage to a wing mirror. By taking out excess insurance, you can cover yourself should you be charged for repairs to your hired van.

If you are hiring a van and intend to use it for business purposes, do check firstly with the rental company that this is allowed but you would also need to select the business use filter when searching for van hire excess insurance quotes. Business use is often restricted so please check with your chosen insurer that your plans will be covered if you are in any doubt.

Taking your hired van abroad?

You will firstly need to have permission from the van rental company to take the vehicle overseas as, without this authority, you would not be covered by any insurer. Please read all terms and conditions carefully and our customer service team is on hand if you need further help.
