2019: A Cheap Van Insurance Odyssey

8am and the CVI employees enter the main entrance, many communicate in grunts and shoves, just like early man.

It is a new day and a new chance to give people cheap van insurance. Thousands of UK van owners visit the CVI website in the morning, using their computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones to do so.

12:32pm and the CVI employees file into the CVI canteen, still communicating in grunts and still acting like primates. 2 employees fight over the last rack of ribs from the buffet…one grabs it and smashes it on the floor in an act of rage…then throws a single bone in the air in an act of defiance.

Cut to…

1:45pm and the mood is more relaxed now within the CVI HQ. The Blue Danube plays over the tanoy and the real business of the day is in full swing.

Thousands more van owners visit the site to get cheap van insurance and our team are working at full pace now. In the moment..like a well oiled machine

The senior technician is involved in a different task…something major…he is working behind closed doors, in a top secret location.

This “closed off” part of CVI HQ is more futuristic and high tech. The senior technician is wearing a suit that looks like a space suit.

And then, at…

4:01pm – the mood is jovial as the whole team enter the “closed off” area for the first time and stand around for a big unveiling..this is what the senior technician has been working on.

The boss pulls the cord and unveils…

PAL – Your Cheap Van Insurance Pal

You’ve heard of Auto Meerkat high five and Ivan The Terrible…now say hello to PAL.

Every van owner in the country can install PAL and then get cheap van insurance on command – easily compare companies and brokers using your voice.

PAL will quickly become the hub of any household – and he can do other things as well.

“Sing for us PAL” said the senior technician

“What should I sing Dave?”

“How about that song I taught you…remember?”

“Oh yes Dave…Daisy, Daisy…Give me your answer do…”

Everybody at CVI HQ applauds and “amazing,” says the canteen manager – “this is the future,” said the caretaker.

Later in the day and it is…

8:45pm

Everybody has gone home except the boss and the head of the SEO department.

They are locked away in a top secret meeting room discussing strategy about how to rank CVI in Google and Bing in 2019 and beyond.

Outside the room…PAL looks on…watching their lips…first the head of the SEO department …then the boss. Just watching, some would say…lip reading.

20 minutes later and the meeting is over. The boss says the words…

“Open the meeting room doors PAL…”

Aviva Attempt to Join Forces With Van Insurance Brokers

I could see our CNR was disturbed after the Cardiff incident. “Take an easy assignment…there is a story in Dundee,” I told him.

So he headed out of HQ and into the CVI limo. Now I turned my attention to headlines within the van insurance industry. Aviva to be exact, who have recently tried to join forces with van insurance brokers.

The insurance giant have recently launched something called “Fast Trade e-trading quote and buy” which is designed to help van insurance brokers get the best prices so they can compete in a very competitive marketplace.

Not all brokers are able to take advantage of this facility from Aviva though…only those brokers who have an Aviva agency.

This all comes at a time when van insurance brokers have been falling by the wayside, somewhat, in recent years.

Van insurance companies are turning up the heat with free gifts for consumers and hogging all of the advertising space…which means brokers are becoming more and more sidelined, to the point where many are going out of business.

Of course, those van brokers who partner with us here at Cheap Van Insurance are never left out in the cold. There is always a fresh catch of the day, every day. And as our fishing boat reaches the safety of land, we offer our bounty to both van insurance companies and brokers.

So how do you, the van owner, find your way into the net so you can put yourself in the fish market, so to speak? It’s easy…

…all you have to do is fill in the form which can be found at the top of the page you are reading right now. Then, spend around 3 minutes filling in the form and then, just press the “submit” button.

You instantly get around 40 quotes from both trusted van insurance companies and brokers, which puts YOU firmly in control.

This is the point where…the fish becomes a shark.

Back to Aviva and a spokesperson for their company had this to say – “Brokers still get the normal commissions, but we take out the costs and pass on those cost benefits to those who use it. We don’t have any transaction fees from software houses so the prices should be cheaper than the average that they would normally access. It’s a good deal.”

My opinion? Aviva might be on to something here, who knows for sure? What I do know is that both van insurance brokers and van owners should start right here, at The Nations Favourite.

If you are a van insurance broker who wants to get in on the action then give us a ring. We might be able to include you in our comparison service…although places are strictly limited and the application process is tough. We only take the best.

If you are a van owner then all you have to do is fill in the 3 minute form. You only get quotes from the best of the best.

Speaking of the best…I’ve just received a text from our CNR who is on route to Dundee.

“Motorway Mayhem and Meerkat Madness…” was the only words he wrote.

Something tells me we are in for another wild ride. Stay tuned.
