Van rental can be a valuable service for many people. Whether you’re running a business, operating as a sole trader, or simply need a vehicle with more transportation space, hiring a van is an elegant solution. You can tailor the rental period to suit your needs, thereby ensuring maximum value for money. To this end, insurance is a major consideration which can inflate the cost of renting a van. Find information on van rental insurance below.

What does van rental insurance include?

Rental vehicle insurance will typically consist of a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). This is designed to provide peace of mind to the driver by covering both damage to the van and damage you cause to another person’s vehicle. The details of the policy will vary from lender to lender so it’s worth doing some research before hiring the vehicle.

Many lenders will also offer van excess insurance. This is an option that vehicle renters can choose if they want additional coverage.Along with providing more reimbursement for the van’s excess, it will often also provide cover for areas that aren’t in the standard policy. This can include costs associated with:

• Lost keys.
• Filling the van with the wrong kind of fuel.
• Damage to the roof, windscreen or tyres.
• Towing fees following an accident.
