Insuring a van with van insurance
You can insure your delivery van with a delivery van insurance. A delivery van insurance is a special insurance for a delivery van. A delivery van differs from a passenger car, of course, especially in the type of use. Whereas a passenger car is made to transport people, a delivery van is made especially for transporting goods. That is why it also has a cargo space. For an insurer, this brings with it other risks. That is why a distinction is made between passenger car insurance and delivery van insurance. When the delivery van has a maximum loaded weight that exceeds 3,500 kg, it is called a truck. Do you have a delivery van? Then we would like to help you find the best van insurance.
Why insure a delivery van?
You are legally obliged to have at least a third-party insurance for your delivery van. With a WA delivery van insurance you are insured for damage that you cause to another person. This means that if you or an employee causes an accident with the delivery van, the other party can recover the damage from your car insurance. With only a WA van insurance, damage to your van is not covered. For this you need an extended coverage, like WA + Beperkt Casco or Allrisk.
What does van insurance cover?
When insuring your delivery van, you can choose from three different types of cover:
- WA
- WA + Limited Casco
- All-risk
A WA van insurance is the minimum coverage you need to take out. With this, liability damages are covered. However, you can also choose for a more extensive coverage. An addition to the obligatory WA insurance is the WA + Limited Auto. This covers damage to your delivery van caused by fire, storm, theft or broken windows. With WA or WA + Limited Comprehensive Vehicle insurance, damage to your delivery van due to your own fault will not be compensated. For this you need an all-risk van insurance. This is the most complete insurance.
