Your van keeps your business moving. Finding cheaper insurance matters, but the lowest premium isn’t always the best value.

At Insuremyvan.ie, we recommend these 10 tips to help reduce your premium without sacrificing cover you need.

01. Shop around. Compare renewal quotes on cover, excess, exclusions and optional extras, not simply the headline price.

02. Describe your use accurately. Carrying your own tools differs from delivering other people’s goods for payment. Explain exactly what you do.

03. Build your No Claims Discount. Give accurate claims information and check what evidence your insurer requires.

04. Check before buying. Get quotes for shortlisted vans: model, value and power can affect premiums.

05. Estimate mileage realistically. Review your working pattern rather than copying last year’s figure or understating expected journeys.

06. Review named drivers. Make sure everyone listed genuinely needs to drive and that nobody who needs cover is missing.

07. Keep security details current. Tell your insurer about changes to overnight parking or vehicle security.

08. Compare cover levels. Don’t assume Third Party Only offers the best value. Consider the financial consequences of theft or damage.

09. Ask about annual payment. Compare the total payable annually against instalments, not just the monthly amount.

10. Use a specialist broker. Explain your trade, goods carried and drivers so the options reflect your work.

Check tools cover and breakdown assistance separately. Saving on a premium is less useful if an important risk remains uninsured.
