van insurance

[J.C.E]

evening chaps

any advise on van insurance for a 23year old that had 2 claims on company van policy and got 3 points on license for mobile phone

now trying to get insurance for my own van.

I know some people dont declare the claims from companys vans- becuase they think they don't count on personal- but if I even do need to claim- and I find my insurance is invalid- I paying all this money for nothing!!!

gets quotes for like 5k

My lad had similar quotes, few accidents & using mobile. He shopped around and did get something for around grand, he was driving an old van though.

3 points for using a mobile phone! I've never come across anyone who's been done for that!

Its 6 points now and I know loads who have.

I also know someone who got killed by a driver on his mobile so as much as many do do it, it comes with a risk of sky high insurance or several yrs in jail if you find yourself in a position also for the sake of buying a hands free, it still takes your concentration but at least its legal.

Sorry can't help there, it was a couple of years ago now. Think he used one of those comparison web sites.

I have a clean license, but I found that autonetinsurance.co.uk is very cheap, I signed up through vanxtra.co.uk

I have a 2004 Vauxhall Combo, im 33, clean licence, and don't use my car no claims on the van, so only have a few on the van, anyway, my policy is about £200 fully comp and protected.

I went on money saving expert recently, under the insurance , van insurance, they give you a few comparison sites to try and a few others who are not on those sites. Took about 20 minutes and saved £100 off my renewal price from current insurer.

I got caught twice in the space of a week, 6 points and £60 fine at the time! Safe to say it's hands free every time now!

I can't understand why people continue to use hand held phones when driving. It's idiotic. Most new vehicles have Bluetooth hands free, and those that don't can either fit a Parrot or a stereo with the function for £100. Instead, they choose to pay £100 to the old bill and get 3 points.

Parrots can talk alright, but they are unable to take a message, when ya customers ring.

its 3 points darkwood ive just looked.

they might have gotten 6 if they were done for dangerous driving rather than a mobile phone.


its 3 points and a £100 fine


it was too tempting and got caught answering my phone (got handsfree now)


back to the op

dial direct was the cheapest for me i know a few lads that use brentache (call them though)

mine was £1600 thats with a few claims though im 22

Or an 'awareness' course.

Phone was RCD protected.

Had about as much chance of killing someone as I would have on a hands free......you prat
