For many self employed tradespeople and small business owners, a van is one of the most important tools of the trade. It transports you between jobs, carries tools and materials and often supports the entire working day. Having the right van insurance in place is essential to protect your business if something goes wrong.
If your van is damaged, stolen or vandalised, it can prevent you from working and lead to lost income. Van insurance helps cover the cost of repairs or replacement, allowing you to get back on the road as quickly as possible. Thornhill Insurance arranges van insurance that reflects how your vehicle is used and the demands of your business.
As a family run, independent insurance broker, we offer a personal service that helps ensure your policy provides the protection you actually need, without relying solely on online systems.
We never compromise on cover
