Overview of cover provided by Axa Van Insurance
Axa offers a number of insurance products for vans, for workers, delivery drivers and personal use.
Its business and courier van insurance is designed to keep professionals on the road, protect your van for business use and possibly even reduce the cost of cover. This is important as standard UK van insurance policies would not cover the use of the vehicle for business purposes.
The standard Axa commercial policy includes cover for repairs nationwide at an approved garage, roadside accident repairs, and a guaranteed courtesy van – not a car – when your vehicle is being repaired by an Axa-approved mechanic.
The insurer believes it’s the little things that matter when it comes to insurance cover, so it offers protection from damage or theft to audio equipment, satellite navigation systems, keys, and covers you if you put in the wrong type of fuel. You can also enjoy up to 93 days’ EU travel cover as standard.
In addition, Axa provides a number of policy extras that are available as optional add-ons. These include legal assistance (up to £100,000), protected no claims bonus, breakdown cover – either rescue or rescue and home start – and trailer insurance.

How much does Axa Van Insurance cost?
Although the exact price of van insurance depends on for what purpose when and for how long you use your vehicle for business purposes, Axa offers a number of incentives to keep the cost of insuring your van as low as possible.
