5 Steps To Buying Your Van Insurance Online.
As more and more people get hooked up to high speed broadband, there has been a rise in the number of people heading online to buy insurance.
And, Brits are ever increasingly happy to buy motor insurance online. A 2011 survey by financial analysts Defaqto found that 86 per cent of people are now happy to research and buy motor insurance on the web without any professional advice.
So, if you’re thinking of buying your van insurance online for the first time, here are five easy steps to follow.
1: Have all your details to hand.
Before you begin, it is useful to have all your personal details and the details of your vehicle to hand.
Many quotation websites will ‘time out’ if you don’t complete the quotation form within a certain time. So, if half way through your quotation request you have to go and find some specific information about your van, you may have to start the process again.
Have all information – personal details, bank details and the make/model/engine size/registration mark of your van – ready before you start to fill in the online form.
2: Find a good comparison website.
Once you have all your information to hand, you should head onto the web to find a good comparison website. You can use search engines such as Google and Bing to find van insurance comparison sites or you can simply use our great quotation system.
When looking for a site that can sell you van insurance on line, look for:
• Sites that feature a wide range of leading insurers
• Sites that allow you to choose different types of cover
• Sites that are secure and encrypted to protect your personal information
With over fifty van insurers in the UK, finding a website such as ours that feature a wide range of leading insurers can help you find great value cover.
3: Complete the form.
Once you have decided on a comparison website you normally have to click a link or button to be taken to the quotation request form. Here, you complete all the information that the site needs to obtain quotes for you.
One of the advantages of heading online for van insurance is that you typically only have to complete one form. Approaching individual insurers directly means you often have to complete the same information multiple times.
4: Compare prices and quality of cover.
Once you have completed the form, the website will normally provide you with a range of quotations from various insurers. However, as well as comparing the cost of cover, many experts recommend that you also check to see exactly what cover a policy provides.
The Daily Telegraph says: “Keep in mind that it is possible to get affordable insurance without compromising on the quality of the cover.”
5: Buy.
Once you have found your preferred quote, most websites allow you to buy your chosen van insurance online.
