What is van insurance for personal use?

Personal van use, also known as private van use, covers you and your van for everyday driving. It’s sometimes known as social, domestic and pleasure (or SDP for short).

It protects you for most types of personal journeys, including weekends away, hobbies and shopping trips. It does not cover you for work or business use, or commuting to and from work (for that, you’ll need a commercial van insurance policy).

What level of van insurance for personal use can I get?

Policies tend to start at Third Party Only, which only covers other people and their property, but not you. Our van insurance is fully comprehensive. It’s the top level of protection, for that extra peace of mind.
