Not every van or commercial vehicle fits standard insurance criteria. Non-standard van insurance from AbbeyAutoline can consider modified, converted and catering vans, and drivers with motoring convictions, penalty points, open claims or a more complex claims history, so we can help you explore your options.
We can help find cover for non-standard commercial vehicles that fall outside standard insurance criteria, including:
Some vans and commercial vehicles don't fit standard insurance criteria because of how they are used or the circumstances surrounding the risk.
We can consider Social, Domestic & Pleasure (SDP) use only for qualifying commercial vehicles, including certain vehicles with more than three seats but no more than nine seats.
Options may also be available for low No Claims Bonus, higher-rated areas, unusual occupations or unusual vehicle usage.
Having motoring convictions or excessive penalty points doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t get insured.
Our scheme can consider a range of more complex driving histories, including:
Certain non-motoring offences may also be considered, subject to the relevant criteria.
