Most Expensive and Cheapest Place to Insure Your Van…

Posted on by News Desk

The facts are in. There is no more guessing…and here at CVI HQ we are shocked, to say the least. “WOW,” was the mood in the canteen at lunch.

We were sure that London would be the most expensive place to insure your van. How WRONG we were.

The official facts paint a completely different picture. A picture where London has been knocked off the top spot by a surprise city that you might not have guessed.

And the award for the most expensive van insurance city goes to…

Oldham!

That city in Lancashire where not much ever happens…apart from van crime by the looks of it.

If you are a van owner in Oldham then you pay on average of £1630. “I really can’t believe it,” said the CVI canteen manager when asked for a comment.

Luton and Slough make up number 2 and number 3 on the most expensive places to insure your van list, while West Bromwich and Manchester came in at number 4 and number 5.

That means that…

London is number 6 on the list.

“That really surprised me Dave,” said PAL, our new van insurance pal technology

“I expected London to be higher,” PAL went on to add.

Now that we have heard about the most expensive places, how about the cheapest places?

And the award for cheapest place to insure your van goes to…

Newcastle-Under-Lyme!

That’s right. It was Newcastle-Under-Lyme where van owners are only paying on average £567 a year to insure their vans.

“Is Newcastle-Under-Lyme the same place as Newcastle?” asked our caretaker.

“No it isn’t…they are different places,” replied PAL.

Chesterfield and Redditch got number 2 and number 3 on the list, while Shrewsbury and Harrogate came in at number 4 and number 5 cheap places to insure your van.

Here at CVI we want to make it clear to all van owners in this nation of ours…it doesn’t matter if you are in the most expensive or most cheapest list…YOU can still save money on van insurance right now.

You can live in Oldham and potentially save hundreds of pounds on your van insurance in 3 minutes or less.

Van Insurance Is Getting More Expensive

Posted on by News Desk

Here at CVI HQ we had a smiley face this morning, and then we learned that van insurance is getting more expensive, and now we are sad.

There are sad faces all around the CVI HQ this morning. “I just can’t believe it,” said the canteen manager as he served yet another chips and tomato sauce dish.

You must understand that our optimism had been great for 2019. We had read unofficial reports that van insurance was down and that UK van drivers could expect a significant drop in their premiums.

It seems our optimism was misplaced.

The official statistics are now on the table from the Consumer Intelligence Van Insurance Index, or CIVI (not to be confused with CVI), and what they show is average van insurance premiums got more expensive over the last 3 months by 1.2%.

Now, that 1.2% might not sound like a lot, but when you consider many van drivers are forking out over £1000 to insure their van, and some are even getting hit in the pocket for over £2000, then it all starts to add up.

“Yowsers!” is the only word that comes to mind when you really start to think about this mess. When will the van insurance companies ever give you a break? The answer is never, and that is why your only option is compare van insurance right here at CVI.

We are the official website of the people and have been serving van drivers all around this nation of ours since the beginning of van insurance comparison.

We are one of the original van insurance comparison sites and one of the only independent comparison sites that are still left.

While many of our competitors went out of business or sold out to the van insurance companies, we stood firm and defiant and stayed true to our word.

“Cheap van insurance prices for every van driver in the UK,” we said, and we meant it.

And right now, as we speak, here in March 2019, I think our words are more relevant than ever before.

Those van insurance companies just keep on pushing your premium higher and higher. More expensive and more expensive…which leaves you with only 1 option.

Go directly to our 3 minute form to compare van insurance. You instantly get quotes from around 40 trusted van insurance companies and brokers and then you can see for yourself just how much you could save.

You could easily save a few hundred quid, and in a time when van insurance is getting more expensive, some would say that getting cheaper van insurance is nothing short of a miracle.

Do it right now and see for yourself.

Most Expensive Van Insurance? The Award Goes to…

Posted on by News Desk

Wondering which place has the most expensive van insurance in the UK? A recent survey has now given us the answer, and it isn’t surprising.

Before I reveal the answer, and to give you some frame of reference, let me tell you what the average cost of van insurance is right now in the UK…£1500 approximately.

Not exactly cheap is it, but van drivers have to pay those kind of figures because as we all know, it is a legal requirement to insure your van. Ignore that and you could find yourself with a fine, points on your license, a driving ban, and even in prison.

So where is the most expensive van insurance? East London to be exact, where the survey found the average price to be nearly £2000. Yes you read that right.

Drivers in East London are paying, on average, £2000 for insurance, and if reports are true, this could soon become even more expensive once new compensation laws are introduced by the government.

Van crime is becoming more of a problem of course, and London is one of those areas where van break-ins are a daily occurrence. Sure, this kind of crime can happen anywhere (and it does), it’s just that London seems to get it more.

There are many factors that determine how much you are going to pay for van insurance, such as age and experience of the driver, make and model of the van, where it is parked overnight…and so on.

It goes without saying that if you are a young driver in East London who wants van insurance then you are probably going to be paying well over £2000. Maybe even over £3000.

What can you do to get van insurance that isn’t quite as expensive? My advice is simple…use a comparison website. It really is all you have to do.

Most van drivers don’t do this however, and instead just stick with the same company year after year, or they try and compare by only going to a few different companies.

When you use a comparison website, it automatically sends your details to over 100 companies, so as you can imagine, it’s easy to get a cheap quote…even if you live in East London or somewhere else with expensive van insurance.

Don’t just take my word for it. Give it a try for yourself. It only takes around 3 minutes to enter some basic details and then you start getting quotes right away.
