I’m hiring a van for a couple of days as it’s so much cheaper than a car but the excess cover I usually use doesn’t cover vans.
Any recommendations? I’ve found some for £40 for 3 days, which is too much. The equivalent for a car is £7.
Cheers
I've not managed to find any of the cheap.ones that do vans. Luckily my local van place has a pretty reasonable excess policy. Maybe check with the hire co first to get a benchmark
try icarehire
they do van policies underwritten by zurich
think I paid £30something for an annual policy so worth it if you plan to hire more that 3-4 days a year.
Am I reading that right? There is an excess on that van excess policy. Do you then need an excess excess policy as well 🙂

Yep 😉
its a different level risk to insure to hire cars - being bigger and often being driven by people who aren't used to that they vans are more likely to pick up minor bumps and scratches
Hire excesses are rocketing - in the time I've had a trade account for hires the excesses has gone up from £250 to £750 and will be a grand soon and theres so much useless razzledazzle stuck to cars and vans now minor stuff is getting expensive to fix
I didn't have an excess policy last year and a stone chipped windscreen set me back close to £700 - theres was all sorts of fancy shite, lane detection cameras and sensors in there - the screen didn't just need to be replaced, it had to go back to the dealer to be recalibrated 🙂
There’s a voluntary £250 excess I could have added but I paid an extra tenner to get no excess.
£40 which is a fair bit more than the few pounds I usually pay but it’s still cheaper than hiring a car (ignoring the super cheap off site companies like green motion etc).
Think the van has a £1200xs on it.
