Insurance for 5 vans

[Noblebenn]

Been with Aviva for 5 years and been great but renewal premium gone up 40% this year.

Anyone recommend a broker or company to go direct to?

Axa will only do fleet with ones years fleet policy usage
Direct Line will only do a director as named main driver with his no claims liable.

Think we are to small for fleet insurance but have a 5 small cheap vans and each are driven by 3-5 drivers.

Thanks

I'm on 01823 230249 or [e-mail] if you'd like me to see if I can do any better.

Aviva are good at that level, but I have moved stuff away from them recently because of unreasonable price increases. I've got plenty of alternative options.

It's situations like this where specialist brokers come into their own. For 99% of us, the meerkat people, the fat opera singer, or that nodding dog will do just fine, but when it gets a bit complicated, they're useless.

Never used this lot before, though I'm assuming they can help:

Their fleet cover starts with a minimum of 3 vehicles.

Even if you don't end up using them, you'll be able to get a baseline quote, and a bit of advice thrown in, I shouldn't wonder.

For my business insurance I use InsuranceJon of this parish.

Not sure if he can offer vehicle cover though.

this is right up our street, you have started talking to Adam already stick with him. On fleets its best not to have more than 2 brokers (your holding and one other) looking at it, as the market is easily covered by 2 brokers, and if insurers start seeing your business from a number of sources they will turn you down.

If you haven't started talking to adam then get in touch as I your man;)

Go online with Aviva and get a quote, or go through a cashback site to Aviva if you can, both will be cheaper than their renewal price.

I did just this when my Aviva renewal came through and like yours had gone up.

By going through the TopCashBack website, again with Aviva, I managed to negate the premium rise and make a saving.

Many thanks for the response, all very helpful.

Agreed. You need a broker for this.

Look at your risk profile, age of drivers, any convictions, do you track your vehicles, immobilisers etc.
