Do I need van insurance?

Yes you do, van insurance is a legal requirement and anyone driving a van in the UK must possess valid insurance. The minimum cover you, legally, must have will cover any costs to other road-users if you damage their property or injure them.
The UK Road Traffic Act makes van insurance a legal requirement and it is a serious offence to drive your van, or allows others to drive your van, without insurance. If you are caught driving your van without it you could face a fine, driving ban or even have your vehicle crushed.
Being fully insured means van drivers can level the odds in their favour – financially. In return for an insurance premium being paid, insurers will recompense any costs in the event that an accident or incident should occur.
