Van Replacement

If you rely on your van for work, being without it after a non-fault accident can mean missed jobs, lost deliveries and lost income.

We arrange suitable replacement vans for eligible couriers, delivery drivers, tradespeople and businesses, and manage the rest of the claim alongside it.

Replacement and credit services are subject to eligibility, reasonable need and provider terms. Credit hire explained →

The right van for the job

A replacement van should do the job your own van does. Before sourcing one, we look at what you carry, how you load it and how you use it day to day.

Depending on your needs and availability, that can range from a small van for lighter loads to a large, long-wheelbase panel van.

Vans we can arrange

🚐

Small vans

For couriers, lighter loads and city driving.

📦

Medium panel vans

For tradespeople, parcel delivery and everyday business use.

🚚

Large vans

Long-wheelbase and high-roof vans for bulkier loads.

🧰

Specialist vans

Such as tippers, dropsides and box vans, subject to availability.

What we’ll ask you about

  • the make, model and size of your van, including wheelbase and roof height;
  • what you use it for and what you usually carry;
  • any racking, tow bar or other equipment your work relies on;
  • whether you drive for a courier or delivery company, or for your own business;
  • how many days a week you normally work.

This helps us assess your need for a replacement and find a suitable van. Exact matches can’t always be guaranteed and depend on availability.

Keep your business moving

Alongside the replacement van, we coordinate recovery, secure storage, engineer assessment and repairs for your own van, and help you claim any income you lost while it was off the road.

Yes. Tell us who you drive for and any requirements they have for the vehicle, and we’ll assess what’s suitable. Income you lost while off the road can also form part of your claim.
Where a replacement is appropriate, it can usually stay with you while the total-loss claim is settled and you’ve had a reasonable opportunity to replace your van. We’ll also help make sure the valuation reflects your van’s specification and condition.
