johnnyboxer Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 (edited) Try NFU Mutual Insurance. They have agents in all local towns nationwide. They will insure vans on a private car policy and used for domestic use only (like us as private users, not commercial users). I have my Toyota Powervan insured with them. They give good discounts and all is handled by the local agent, so you get face to face service. Also if the insured van (or a car) is less than 2 years old (from date of first registration) they do a 'new for old' replacement, if it's written off as a total loss. Therefore write off a 22 month old vehicle and you get a brand new 54/05 plate model of similar type & spec.............not many insurers do that!!
