Best Breakdown Cover For Your Van

It goes without saying that breaking down while on the road is far from ideal, especially if you’re working within a specific time frame. If you rely on your van for business, a breakdown means lost hours, extra costs and some serious stress. Towing fees and repair invoices alone can be a real financial burden. For these reasons, breakdown cover is well worth the investment.

However, knowing what to look for when choosing a breakdown service can be challenging, to say the least. If you find yourself scratching your head at the thought of finding a reliable breakdown cover provider, you’re not alone. Fortunately, here at Vanaways, we know a thing or two about vans and commercial van breakdown cover.

Read on to discover our guide to breakdown cover.

Choosing An Insurance Provider

There are a few things worth considering when choosing your breakdown cover. First and foremost, the coverage you require will depend on your usage of the van. If it is a commercial vehicle, business cover is often the best option. Additionally, if you’re looking to insure multiple vehicles, fleet breakdown cover might be the best option.

Many manufacturers offer breakdown cover as part of their service, however, companies such as AA van breakdown cover and RAC van breakdown cover are also popular choices.

Types Of Van Breakdown Cover

Moreover, it is worth bearing in mind the different types of breakdown cover available. Most notably, you’ll need to choose between personal and vehicle cover. As the name suggests, personal cover protects the individual on any van they are driving. Vehicle cover, on the other hand, protects the van itself, no matter who is behind the wheel.

Compare Your Options

Of course, it is always a good idea to research your options properly and compare packages to discover which will suit your needs best. There are plenty of websites through which you can view the pros and cons of each provider, making life a lot easier.

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."
