Cheapest commercial van insurance 'may not be the best'

Commercial van insurance seekers could find they save money in the long run by taking more care in choosing policies that are appropriate to their needs, an industry insider has suggested.

According to a study carried out by NFU Mutual, people who opt for the cheapest deal may end up paying more in the future because the package does not include things like courtesy cars and cover for business use.

Jeremy Parker, agent at the company's Devon office, stated a large number of drivers do not appear to understand what they are buying either on the phone or over the internet.

Chief claims manager John Kenny added: "It is important drivers realise that insurance providers who offer cheap policies do not always provide all the cover you need."

And the remarks may be of interest to those who are looking for commercial van insurance that caters to all of their needs.

Van drivers seeking a new eco-friendly vehicle in the future might want to consider opting for a Ford C-MAX hybrid electric models, due for release in Europe in 2013.
