Trying to get quotes for a new Courier van and most companies can’t quote as the van isn’t on their system (and I pick it up next Friday..)

However, the few companies I’ve had quotes from are all in the £700 - 1200 price range (I currently pay £295 fully comp for my current Connect van) - Admiral are coming in at £340 fc.

Anyone used them for van insurance?
Just seems too cheap compared to everyone else.

Gladiator were only a few quid more but the reviews weren’t great..

Can’t get my head around paying double for a small van than I do for a 500hp Giulia.
It’s mad.

Had to have a new windscreen yesterday (on my current van insurance) so have updated quotes for the claim for the new van - it’s added £300 to the cost!

A brand new Connect at the same value is £350 a year - something about the Courier they don’t like.

Yes, that could be the reason.
It seems to have been put into group 26 or there abouts which is the same as the current Connect I think.

If I do a quote for a brand new Connect at the same purchase price the insurance is £350, which is what I pay now.

Edit - Connect is group 31!

It’s mad laugh
And 31 for a Connect..

Spoke to Admiral today - as my policy doesn’t start until Friday they’ve put the windscreen claim down and it’s not cost anymore.
Online quotes were £600 plus with the claim.
