Adrian Flux’s comprehensive range of packages and expertise garnered from 50 years’ experience of serving the light commercial vehicle sector has seen it scoop the Van Insurer of the Year Award once more.
Through specialising in a wide variety of van insurance types, Adrian Flux is well-positioned to ensure its van insurance customers receive the best protection at the lowest possible costs. As a broker the firm works with insurers to create tailored commercial vehicle and van schemes for multiple situations. From panel vans to pick- ups, tippers to double cabs, whatever LCV the customer drives, Adrian Flux will tailor a policy to their specific requirements.
The option of tools in transit cover and for goods in transit, for example, can provide additional cover to high-value loads. The firm can offer an unrivalled combination of price and service and can arrange cover even if a driver has struggled getting competitive quotes in the past, through having driving convictions, carrying hazardous materials or driving a modified van.
It offers a variety of commercial vehicle schemes to cater for all sorts of van owners using their vans for business purposes. These include schemes that cater for the regular run of the mill ‘white van owners’ using their vans for the likes of building and allied trade occupations. It also offers black box offerings which help younger drivers get competitive van insurance, specialist schemes for single van couriers, insurance for customers in the catering industry and have schemes for mini buses.
It also offers schemes for customers engaged in high-risk occupations and covers niche areas, such as customers running horse boxes as well as insuring non-standard uses such as mobile stages, mobile shops, mobile libraries and even play buses.
Customers covering low mileages and those who fit additional security kit or dashcams to protect their vans against crime or to record incidents can benefit from discounted premiums. Adrian Flux also offers discounted rates to customers who hold public liability insurance, have a sign-written van or have racking fitted to the load areas of their vans.
Key policy features included in Adrian Flux’s packages include free legal cover, cover for van modifications and cover for learner drivers. Personal accident and road rage cover is available, as is UK and European breakdown cover. Customers can access a 24-hour helpline and a nationwide network of garages guarantees repairs for up to five years. Courtesy replacement vehicles are offered with no-fault claims.
The firm’s short-term policies run from between a single day to six months. Whether a driver wants to use a friend’s van to move house over the weekend, needs to borrow one for work for a short period of time, or needs interim insurance while replacing a regular work vehicle, temporary van insurance can be the ideal solution, according to Adrian Flux. Cover is available whether the driver is the owner of the vehicle or not, or whether it is already insured in someone else’s name. This makes it the perfect policy for enabling a person to borrow other people’s vans, the firm claims.
For drivers aged 21 and over, cover is available at both comprehensive and third party fire and theft levels and tools in transit cover is offered as an added extra to give tradespeople peace of mind.
