Van insurance advice wanted

[Gill]

Finally gave up on my old loved transit and bit the bullet on a merc sprinter 311 high top it is a crew van model with the welfare setup in it and i love it well till i got the nearly £900 ins quote :Wow: I nearly fainted it is an 06 plate my other van was old not anywhere near the cost of this but surely this is expensive i understand if i convert it to a camper it puts the ins right down has anybody done this ?

For the past 3 years, I've been with Autonet insurance. Every year they beat everyone elses quotes (money supermarket, compare the market etc) by a large margin. Its on an 07 VW Transporter.

Might be worth giving them a bell, I'm paying £350 for fully comp business insurance.

No idea on the campervan conversion, but they are a UK company and will tell you what the difference will be.

Don't know about converting a van, but my toyota is insured via autonet, mind i did get side swiped at 0700 this morning, by a guy changing lane with out seeing me..

This isn't quite the same thing, but many of my friends with living vans belong to the Caravan & Camping Club, regardless of whether they think it's naff or not, because there's an insurance payoff of some sort. Might be worth looking into.

Not to bad Gill thank you, i was doing a shift for a collegue so he could go on holiday, just one of those wrong time wrong place, & some senile old fart not knowing where he's going or what he's doing. The old boy was 75, about 5ft 2", & he started crying...
