Asking for further discounts without justification is the least you can do and sometimes it may pay off with further discounts. You should always ask for discounts and even if you are successful 50% of the time you are ahead of the game. Drivers of Vans, with excellent driving records, no claims and no convictions or speeding violations are in an excellent position to ask for a discount on their quote, but also to negotiate a discount on their premiums or have additional services or benefits added. Always use whatever advantage you have to negotiate a lower fee!

Process for Asking for a Quote

As in any job, if you are fully prepared you can almost always be sure to be rewarded with a job well done. Asking for a quote for van insurance and getting the best price is no different. Preparation is key. First step is to collect all of the information you are going to need. This is covered in more detail on another page on this web site. Second, fill in online applications at several companies listed in our directory and compare the results. You will find differences in price as well as in levels of cover and benefits. Third, begin discussing these differences with the each of the insurance companies, emphasizing those differences that are in your favour. Ask for reductions in price or improvements in cover. Fourth, always ask if there are other elements you have not considered that might bring the price down further, such as your driving record, removing a particular driver on a commercial van, etc. If you approach this in a systematic way, you will be pleasantly surprised many times, not always, but many times with great low van insurance rates.
